ROS problem with MATLAB and public wifi

Post by flavia1394 »

Hello everyone,
I want to use ROS to comunicate Simulink and three drones Crazyflie. I have some problems using ROS with the public wifi of the University, when I type

Code: Select all

`rosinit`
in MATLAB the error is:

Code: Select all

 `Cannot connect to ROS master at http://172.30.152.10:11311. Check the specified address or hostname.`
I tried also to run the command at home with the private wifi and there it works perfectly, what are the reasons and how can I solve it? I need to use ROS at University.

Thank you for your answers.

I found a solution: sharing the connection of an Android mobile phone connected to the public Wifi to my computer, and it works !!! :D

Thanks for sharing the solution!

Most public wifi will block communication between clients to help secure the network, this is most likely what is happening to you.
