Connecting to remote ROS master

This is an old revision of the document!

E.g. my IP is 192.168.0.19 (looked up by running ifconfig) The IP of the machine running ROS master is 192.168.0.8.

On my machine:

export ROS_IP=192.168.0.19
export ROS_HOSTNAME=$ROS_IP
export ROS_MASTER_URI=http://192.168.0.8:11311

On the remote master:

export ROS_IP=192.168.0.8
export ROS_HOSTNAME=$ROS_IP
export ROS_MASTER_URI=http://192.168.0.8:11311
