ESP32 +W5500 not working

When i 'm trying some example sketch from the Ethernet library nothing shows up in the serial monitor.I tried the Ethernet library, Ethernet2 and a custom one named Ethernet_Generic-main. I saw in another post that you have to use the Ethernet.init(5) to select the right pin for the ESP32 but it doesnt change anything for me. I think the code is working because when i go to my router page i can see the W5500 and it has the mac adress i assigned in the code. I just dont understand why nothing is happening. Can somebody help please ??

The board is a : doit esp32 devkit v1
The module is : SPI to Ethernet Hardware TCP/IP W5500 Ethernet Network Module by Robojax

The pins selected are : 23,19,18, 5

with the ENC28J60_Ethernet_Module I found that the uipethernet library worked
looking at the esp32-devkit-v1-pinout the pin connections look OK

Edit: connected a ENC28J60 to a ESP32 devkit V1
tested with webserver example (connections 23 29 28 5) and uipethernet library

// ENC28J60 tested with ESP32

I have just tested the ethernetENC library with the ESP32 and ENC28J60 and it works OK

The things is i only have two W5500. Even if I had some ENC28J60 i cant just discard the w5500 without finding what is wrong. But thanks anyway.

although I used a different device I thought it worthwhile checking the ESP32 pin configuration you used 23,19,18, 5 worked (first time I tested the ENC28J60 with a ESP32)
have you tried Ethernet3 ?

Edit: wireshark is a useful tool for monitor network traffic

No i haven't, i'll check it out right now and let you know.

Si i tried it but still nothing. The weird thing is that the shield appears on my router page so there must be a connection but the serial monitor is totally blank. Here is the example i<m using

#include <SPI.h>
#include <Ethernet.h>

// Enter a MAC address for your controller below.
// Newer Ethernet shields have a MAC address printed on a sticker on the shield
byte mac[] = {
  0x00, 0xAA, 0xBB, 0xCC, 0xDE, 0x02
};

// Initialize the Ethernet client library
// with the IP address and port of the server
// that you want to connect to (port 80 is default for HTTP):
EthernetClient client;
Ethernet.init(5);
void setup() {
  // Open serial communications and wait for port to open:
  Serial.begin(9600);
  // this check is only needed on the Leonardo:
  while (!Serial) {
    ; // wait for serial port to connect. Needed for native USB port only
  }

  // start the Ethernet connection:
  if (Ethernet.begin(mac) == 0) {
    Serial.println("Failed to configure Ethernet using DHCP");
    // no point in carrying on, so do nothing forevermore:
    for (;;)
      ;
  }
  // print your local IP address:
  printIPAddress();
}

void loop() {

  switch (Ethernet.maintain())
  {
    case 1:
      //renewed fail
      Serial.println("Error: renewed fail");
      break;

    case 2:
      //renewed success
      Serial.println("Renewed success");

      //print your local IP address:
      printIPAddress();
      break;

    case 3:
      //rebind fail
      Serial.println("Error: rebind fail");
      break;

    case 4:
      //rebind success
      Serial.println("Rebind success");

      //print your local IP address:
      printIPAddress();
      break;

    default:
      //nothing happened
      break;

  }
}

void printIPAddress()
{
  Serial.print("My IP address: ");
  for (byte thisByte = 0; thisByte < 4; thisByte++) {
    // print the value of each byte of the IP address:
    Serial.print(Ethernet.localIP()[thisByte], DEC);
    Serial.print(".");
  }

  Serial.println();
}

I'm not sure what this line does : EthernetClient client;

and the object "client" is not use anywhere else in the code.

does anything appear on the Serial Monitor, e.g. the message "Failed to configure Ethernet using DHCP" or the IP address?

Now it’s working. I changed the value of the cs_pin directly in the header file and connected the reset pin to make sure it reinitialise to its new default value and it printed the ip adress
