Rapa!

You don't provide enough information to let someone help you. Please clarify:

1) Is your PHY detected correctly? Grab debug output from tse driver (example shown in BillA's original post) and post it here.

2) Have you tried at 100M? 10M?

3) Do you see any packets from your board in the network (tcpdump is handy)? Any activity on TXD lines?

4) Are you receiving?

In any case, this is not lwIP specific problem, as Biil said. Both lwIP example and Simple Socket Server should run as is if hardware set up correctly. Probably something wrong with SOPC or top level FPGA design (for example I spent a lot of time trying to run my board at 1000M until I got 2 lines for sdc file from bertronicom).

I would suggest you to use Simple Socket Server template as a standard reference, and after you make it running (ping, DHCP and telnet server) switch to lwIP for better performance and smaller footprint.
