Check out Siteplayer.  Ethernet, TCP/IP, Web interface, UDP packets, and
you don't have to deal with any of the details from teh PIC.  I think the
module is $29 in singles, and they also offer an RJ45 connector with all
the magnetics built in for $5.  It's small, about 1" square or so, and the
dev kit is relatively cheap.  For interfacing a PIC project to Ethernet I
haven't seen anything easier yet.  Not perfect, but a pretty cool little
widget.
