There isn't much out there that describes these
settings in good detail. However, TCP_MSS is simply the maximum amount
of data that lwIP will Rx/Tx per packet. This is data payload only, not
including headers, etc. I believe anything over 1460 is not possible
since this is the maximum allowed (if I'm wrong someone please correct
this). I don't believe it has to be a power of 2. Often, on my
streaming connection, I'll get some amount of data per packet that is about
700 bytes.

I’ve been playing with the TCP options in lwipopts.h. Changing
the value of TCP_MSS seems to have an effect on whether or not the initial
packet I receive gets ACKed.
Is there a tutorial somewhere about what these settings do? I
originally had TCP_MSS set to 1500. Is this supposed to be a power of 2?

I'd
try a switch anyway, although it's unlikely to fix your problem, but it's
easy enough to try. I have not yet tried switching my micro to half
duplex, so I can't say if that fixes the hub issue.
I will say however that while I was trying to determine what was wrong, the
most random things would drastically change how well or bad it
worked. Enabling certain sections of debug, changing pbuf sizes, and
even what server I was connecting to. My assumption is it was very
sensitive to timing.
Then again, you said only one packet fails, then it's ok. In my case,
things were ok then communications completely broke down. At any
rate, I wish you luck.

Premature celebration. I changed the
processor’s settings to half duplex, and have the identical results. It
reliably does not ACK the first packet of the download.
I’ve been using the hub for months now, and
this is the first time it’s been suspect.
There has to be something different about how
I handle TCP reception in this part of my code as compared to the other
section, where I do TCP reception flawlessly, always. I’ve just got to find
it.

It
only took me 3 -4 weeks to figure this out, but if you're on a hub, try a
switch. Apparently if your micro is in full duplex mode, a hub is a
no-go. I'm using the LM driver and it works great for receiving
lots of data, anyway.
Take a look at the "Identification" field in the IP header for
all packets going one direction. They should be sequential and
incrementing. If there's a gap in the sequence, that means
Wireshark isn't displaying a packet that was sent, either because your
hardware or OS discarded it.
I haven't tried half-duplex yet with the hub again. I'm assuming
this would also fix your problem.

No,
the LWIP timers are called from the main timer tick, and there are
no other threads. This is how LWIP is set up for the Luminary driver
library I am using, and it has always worked before.
Wireshark shows no defective packets.

What exactly do you mean with "interrupt handler calls"? The
timers?
They should *not* be called from an interrupt level: the core code of
lwIP may only be accessed from one context at a time!
If you obeyed this rule and still have problems, have a look at
wireshark packet traces and see if it reports errors in a packet. Also,
have a look at the stats (turn them on in lwipopts.h if not already
done) and find out whether there are packets dropped.
