Hi JohnCarloV,
I just solved my problem by creating a little application on one PC.
It appeared that there was no IGMP query generator on my network (only 2 PCs and the switch), and I had confirmation by NETGEAR support that the GS105e block multicast stream when it does no receive periodically IGMP report frames when snooping (according to IGMP standard).

It will certainly be better to send an IGMP query, and let the PC automatically send his report.
