Since it is using dialog, it needs a terminal to run in, which you were missing
from your command.  What you might want to do is something like the following:

(defcommand run-netcfg-menu () ()
    "Run or switch to netcfg-menu"
    (run-or-raise "urxvt -title NetCfg -name NetCfgt -n NetCfg -e
netcfg-menu" ))

Then you can bind run-netcfg-menu to a key combination.

(define-key n (kbd "n") "netcfg-menu")

I have keymap assigned to Mod4-x which I use for my own key
combinations.  It means I just
press the Windows key, then "x", and then whatever key combination I
need to.  Sounds like
a lot of keys, but really isn't.
