I had the same problem in Gentoo linux.
I am by no means a network expert.
<snipped>
The r8169 kernel module was also buggy in my case so that it could not
get an IP address when I was working in my workplace. So I switched
to r8168 module.
I have 2 PCs running Jessie. One PC was affected by this bug, but not
the other.
I tried to "diff" the 2 PC configurations with not luck.
I also fiddled with avahi as described above but again with no success.
After seeing Keivan message, I check my network modules. The 2 PCs were
using the r8169 module but the network card are different :
Affected PC : RTL8168evl/8111evl
Non affected PC : RTL8168g/8111g
So I switch to the r8168 module on the affected PC using sid package and
the bug is now gone.
Thanks Keivan.
