I should really be careful when reading books :) :

    "We can also use -sname on two different machines when they are
    on the same subnet. Using -sname is also the only method that will
    work if no DNS service is available."

Apart from that, Kirill Zaborski suggested that I directly write
nodename@REDACTED So I ran

    erl -name another_name@REDACTED

on my Windows box and it was immediately available from my Linux box.
