First of all the attached JPG is too small and it is quite blur. Second, have you ever successfully run a web server example design before (can be TSE or LAN9C111)? If you haven't, Then I guess, the "hang" that you say is not true. Whenever you start up the Web Server design, the alt_iniche_init() will be called, provided with the MAC address you enter, it will start doing DHCP to obtain a valid dynamic IP address, it will take a very long time before it timeout if your network don't have a DHCP server. If that is the case and you don't have a network with DHCP server, I can provide you a work around to run Web Server with static IP, this is necessary for a PC to board point to point network connetion. If it is not, please provide a snapshot of the console text where the application hang, Third, you don't need to do any custom settings on the PHY(including detection network speed and duplex mode), the TSE driver already do it for you during initialization time, it natively support this National PHY. One thing that you need to take note is, whenever you want to run TSE including small mac version, you need to turn on the byte shifting/byte alignment synthesis option in the hardware, else it won't work. Lastly, look at the web server readme file, you can send or receive packet from the application using web browser. Else, you can also run simple socket server application, it allows you to do telnet access to the application. If you need access to the packet level information, installed a WireShark program on your laptop to peek on the packet.
