I have seen this happen on OS/2 with porting Linux and FreeBSD NIC
drivers. The issue is that a small chip next to the main chips seems to
be wired up differently or different chip. You get NO DHCP lease on LAN.
Or when you set it to static no data traffic comes in out and out. The
realtek cards have a lot revisions of the harware and still the same
vendor and chipset ID. I have seen this happen more often.
So if the DOS binary is older then the Windows drivers that might
explain what is happen.

Thanks, Tom - unfortunately, the motherboard I have available only has a
PCI Express slot (no PCI slots). I know Startech has a PCIe to PCI
adapter for $40, but then I would still need to buy a suitable PCI
network card. I don't really want to invest that much in this project.
I've looked at a lot of PCIe network cards, but haven't found one that
supports DOS type drivers.
At present, I'm still fooling around with the onboard Realtek 8111/8168B
network adapter. It has me baffled. The NDIS driver and associated files
load ok on boot with no errors, but every network program I try to run
times out with no connection. I know the hardware is ok, because I
booted to Linux on a USB stick and the network works just fine.

while it's MSDOS based, this https://www.netbootdisk.com/cards.htm
has NDIS drivers for 98 cards.
unfortunately FreeDOS is mostly ignoring network stuff.
