Have you tried something simple first, like connecting two nodes on
the same machine?

window1:  erl -name a@REDACTED -setcookie blaha

window2:  erl -name b@REDACTED -setcookie blaha

window1:  net:ping('a@REDACTED').
          pong

There are a number of possible problems, some of which could be
eliminated if I could guess what your command lines were, which Erlang
release(s) you're running and which OS your machines are running. But
my remote mind-reading powers aren't in such top form right now.
