Maybe you have more than one NICs. For example, we usually have a Gigabyte Network Card and a Wi-Fi card in one laptop, if they all connect to the networks, ROS will be confused. You'd better add an extra line in you .bashrc file like:export ROS_IP=192.168.1.2 to declare which local IP you want to use. Then your ROS knows which NIC should be used.

Do you have ROS_IP set on each machine? It should be set to the IP of the machine

See http://wiki.ros.org/ROS/Tutorials/MultipleMachines for further details

Which operating system are you using?

On any Linux (Ubuntu, Debian, Arch, etc) and on OSX, there should be an entry in your /etc/hosts file for localhost.

If you're on Linux or OSX, you should check that the file exists and that it has an entry for localhost.

I had same problem while ı am trying the upper link. I resolved, resolve is here.

open the .bashrc files and add this code.

You'll see those things like that:

export ROS_MASTER_URI=http://localhost (or something like that which is not your ip):11311
export ROS_HOSTNAME=(your machine name)

and you must change it like that:

export ROS_MASTER_URI=http://30.10.21.46:11311
export ROS_HOSTNAME=30.10.21.46

change your ip adress.
