Probably all server threads are busy (very popular case when you are
accessing your embedded device remotely from slow networks, i.e. from mobile
phone).

Please try with low socket timeouts, i.e. 5 seconds or less:

        #define HTTP_SOCKET_TIMEOUT     5000
        ...
        u_long tmo = HTTP_SOCKET_TIMEOUT;
        ...
        NutTcpAccept    (sock, 80);
        NutTcpSetSockOpt(sock, SO_RCVTIMEO, &tmo, sizeof(tmo));
        NutTcpSetSockOpt(sock, SO_SNDTIMEO, &tmo, sizeof(tmo));
