As a first step, go to the CD and download the sof file of one of the pre-compiled projects that contains a NIOS. This will confirm that your board's FPGA is good and it can download. Follow the "My first NIOS" tutorial in the CD. This will confirm you are following the steps to create a NIOS and it's software and can download it. If that works, try copying the pre-compiled project you tested earlier, doing a clean and make sure you can re-create a more complex build on your computer with your version of quartus. Don't worry about Ethernet until you are sure these basic steps work.
