The code didn't "get" an IP address, it was self-assigned:
All that proves is that the processor can talk to the Ethernet controller over SPI, it says nothing about establishing a connection between the Ethernet controller and the laptop. My next debugging step (as I already suggested) would be to connect both the W5500 and the laptop to a 10/100 or a 10/100/1000 Ethernet switch rather than directly. That would eliminate any PHY-to-PHY issues as the switch PHYs will do automatic cross-connection correction. But apparently @laukejas won't cough up the $10 for a cheap Ethernet switch.
IDK if that's really the issue. They indicated that the solution would ideally be plug & play, and I can see how it's inconvenient if the device comes with an ethernet switch and wall wart tie-wrapped onto it.
It wasn't my proposed solution, rather a testing technique to get there. Right now he's just throwing crap at the wall hoping something will stick.
Also, even if the code in Post 20 did manage to connect to the Ethernet controller over SPI, it wouldn't work. First, it depends on DHCP which isn't there and second it tries to connect to http://example.com/index.html over the internet which also can't work in a point-to-point connection with the laptop.
I'm sorry, I didn't want to make it look like I'm ignoring your advice. Locally the cheapest switch I can get is 150€. I ordered a cheap one yesterday (10€) from Ali, but it will take ~2-3 weeks before it gets here and I can use it for testing. So for now I'm just trying to make it work with what I got.
? I did try that, but compiler doesn't recognize "Setup". I figured it must be a mistake, but after looking through the code of the library, I wasn't able to figure out what they meant here.
Damn, I missed that one. Went looking deep into the library code, and didn't read the example. I'm sorry, and thank you for being so patient.
I think I set up it as per example now, but still not working - I think ESP32 is crashing and rebooting every 5 seconds or so with the following code.

Can't figure out what the exception is, since there's no error catching in embedded programming. But it's not even starting the setup() (I tried placing Serial.println("test") at the very beginning of setup(), and it is not printed), so I assume it must be crashing at SPIClass SPI1(HSPI).
it usually throws a GURU Meditation error..
presents you with a call stack, there is a program to decipher this to more understandable..
thinks it esp exception decoder..

Still can't get it to work, with this code (hope I understood you right):

I confess at this point I am completely at a loss of what we're doing here, and blindly following along what you're suggesting. I really appreciate you taking the time to help me here. But I also can't help but feel we're off to the deep end, this shouldn't be so complicated, straying so far away from the examples of these libraries... Something is off here, but I can't figure out what.
WOW!!! I didn't consider regionally-dependent highway robbery! I was just poking on Amazon. A 5-port 10/100 switch is is available for $9 USD. If you splurge and shell out $16 USD, you get 10/100/100. Both delivered by Monday.
Again, I was only proposing it as a diagnostic test in case the direct connection to the laptop was causing a problem for some reason. While most modern PHYs handle Polarity and TX / RX reversal automatically, I'm not familiar with the components on OP's Ethernet shield. A switch would have PHYs to take care of that. They also typically have link and activity LEDs that are useful for debugging.
