the problem is: no communication over the ethernet – no packet is received or send from my board. Both diodes indicate that theres should be connection (one constantly lit other blinks on packet) and wireshark sees only packets sent bt PC. Tried both crossed and non-crossed ethernet cable. Tried swapping ENC – same result, revision is read properly – so there shouldn't be any problems with communications with uP.
The story behind: couple weeks ago, while working with previous version of this board everything was OK (packet reception and sending) suddenly coil next to RJ burnt. Do not know why. Resoldered it, swapped RJ socket and ENC – nothing helped. Now i'm working with new version of it and the problem still occurs.
Anyone could tell me whats the problem?

To summarize: your board / circuit worked previously, then something caused a component (coil?)to pop, so you swapped out some parts (including the popped component) and your circuit / board no longer works...
Since your MCU can seemingly talk to your ENC28J60 and your ENC28J60 evidently is interacting with the Mag Jack (as evidenced by blinking LEDs), the logical conclusion is that your ENC28J60 is receiving ethernet frames but they are being rejected as invalid (perhaps due to CRC errors or something like that). That would point to something being flaky with components between the Jack and the ENC28J60 or perhaps the external support components for the ENC28J60 (e.g. crystal, capacitors, resistors).
You can get some amount more of diagnostic information out of the ENC28J60 over SPI by reading the status registers, and I would encourage you to do so and report back what you find.
