Nice board. Hard to sat what's wrong, there maybe a million of reasons of some incompatability between BIOS, Cyrix SoC HW, packet driver, CWSDPMI, DJGPP...
The WATTCP library got some fixes/updates recent years, I have last one from 2016. Did you tried links 2.17 announced some posts below?
Maybe you could try to run the same OS+driver+app setup on a different PC with similar Realtek NIC if it will work. I used RTL8029 and now RTL8111 and networking works well for me, except some problem in new Quake2DOS release that is crashing and I cannot figure why - something has changed since 2016 release I used before...

DOS gives me freedom to unlimited HW access.
