I will provide basic network connection Python code. After calling the network module, you can use network.WIZNET5K() to perform Ethernet communication.

```
import network
import socket

# Initialize WIZnet W5500 Ethernet interface
# For W5500-EVB-Pico, specific pin configuration for SPI and CS is not required as it's predefined on the board
nic = network.WIZNET5K()

# Configure static IP
# Replace with your network details
nic.ifconfig(('192.168.0.2', '255.255.255.0', '192.168.0.1', '8.8.8.8'))

# Server details
server_ip = '192.168.0.100'  # Replace with the server's IP
server_port = 5000           # Replace with the server's port

# Create a socket object
s = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)

# Connect to the server
s.connect((server_ip, server_port))
print("Connected to server")

# Send a message to the server
s.send(b'Hello, Wiznet!')

# Receive a response from the server
data = s.recv(1024)
print("Received data:", data)

# Close the socket
s.close()
```

This may not be the answer you were looking for, but I hope it clears up some of your questions about how to use WIZNET5K.
