Hi,
I just tried this under Windows XP, without trouble. Did you copy and paste the script directly from the text above?
Please keep in mind the following: the script will appear to "hang" if any of the commands take long to execute. So, if the DHCP release/renew take 45 seconds (due to a problem with the DHCP server), the entire script will have just a window showing and nothing will seem to happen.
Just in case, I have attached it with this comment. Please rename it from a ".txt" to a ".cmd" before using. The modified script will also show you textual progress of what it is doing. Thus, you will know which step is slow...
Cheers,

Sure!
Simply take the script as indicated previously, and remove all but one of the ipconfig lines. Then, change the "/" option to be "/all" instead of whatever was there previously.
If you want to wipe out the contents of the Result.txt file between every run, change the ">>" to a single ">" in the second line of the script.

How are you launching the batch file, and where are you running it from?
is it possible it is not running under an appropriate security context for the commands?
If you are launching one batch file from another, it may be trying to run under 'system' context, which won't have the appropriate rights.
Can you post your file(s) here for review?
Hi again,
Could you explain what you mean by "too long?" Do you mean a 1/2 second, or several seconds? Can you post the output of Result.txt? Could you give a little more information about your setup?
There are several things which can affect CMD script execution - but these are beyond the scope of your original question.

Hey jskfan,
Try the following in a batch file and lemme know if it works for you.
set Logfile=C:\result.txt
@echo RENEW DNS/IP BATCH > "%Logfile%"
@echo ================== >> "%Logfile%"
ipconfig /flushdns >> "%Logfile%"2>&1
ipconfig /release >> "%Logfile%"2>&1
ipconfig /renew >> "%Logfile%"2>&1
ipconfig /registerdns >> "%Logfile%"2>&1
@echo RENEW DNS/IP BATCH HAS ENDED...
@echo REVIEW C:\result.txt FOR DETAILS. CLOSE TO EXIT !
@pause>nul

Hi,
The easiest way to do this is as follows. Start notepad, and copy the following text into it:
@echo off
echo. >> c:\Result.txt
ipconfig /flushdns >> c:\Result.txt
ipconfig /release >> c:\Result.txt
ipconfig /renew >> c:\Result.txt
ipconfig /Registerdns >> c:\Result.txt
Save this as (for example) c:\Show_Ipconfig.cmd, and you are ready to go!
This script will continually append to the c:\Result.txt file. If you want to create a new file everytime this script is run, change the second line to read "echo. > c:\Result.txt". Please note that there is no space between the echo and the "."!
Cheers,
NotLogical
