Yes, You you should boot from your RGB-DOS mode and run it from a
virtual drive. Then run"wired".

Your DW4 server must be in HDB-DOS emulation mode maybe ?

I could make it to work with HDB-DOS and DISK BASIC 2.1 but I don't
have RGB-DOS to test it.

Try  runm"HDBDOSC3.BIN" it will boot in DW C3 mode. Check if you can
access your DW this way doing a DIR 0 for instance.
