I am not sure if I understand correctly what you describe. I
remember running into problems in the past because of calls
to HAL_DELAY_US in the network code. You say something about
changing timeouts to the order of magnitude of seconds, so
keep in mind that HAL_DELAY_US implements a busy wait, which
could start waiting for a _very_ long period of time if you
do that. The behavior you describe indicates that it could be
something like that.

Network ITs are working etc.
