The .bat looks fine.
Are you running the current version of Factorio (0.14.21) and is it the 64-bit version? The 32-bit version doesn't support multiplayer/headless anymore.
You can check by creating a version.bat with these contents and then start it:

Are you trying to make a connection while running different versions of the game between the participants?!
