Use the FOR command to iterate through the list of files and then do the rename.
Just like we showed you in this question.

Weird; ren *.txt *.bak should totally work.
Try
Code: Select all
pushd "\\178.70.140.230\Development\Company\"
ren *.txt *.bak
popd

I tested this and it worked.
Code: Select all
ren "\\Server\Share\Squashman\rename\*.txt" *.bak
