FYI: altering an error message is generally not a good idea. In this case, you're disguising the one piece of information that is useful for debugging in this case. This is basically a network configuration problem. Without knowing what your actual network config is, it's hard to provide a solution. As a general strategy, network configuration problems are generally resolved by setting ROS_IP to the IP address of the configuration you're binding to, or to set ROS_HOSTNAME to a hostname that resolves correctly across multiple configurations. - Ken On Wed, Sep 15, 2010 at 9:07 AM, trinighost wrote: > > Hello Ken, > I changed the machine name for the post.. but the message does show my > actual machine name (not localhost). > > ROS_MASTER_URI is currently set to. > http://localhost:11311 > > The other variables are blank/not set. > And it doesn't matter whether the machine is on a wired or wireless network. > -- > View this message in context: http://ros-users.122217.n3.nabble.com/ROS-and-virtual-private-networks-tp1480052p1480777.html > Sent from the ROS-Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. > _______________________________________________ > ros-users mailing list > ros-users@code.ros.org > https://code.ros.org/mailman/listinfo/ros-users >
