That launch file has a parameter for the IP that your sensor is using:

<param name="ip_add" value="192.168.1.14" />

Have you set that to the correct value?

How to get the right value? @gvdhoom!

How have you configured the sensor? You should be able to figure out the IP of the sensor that way.

I'm using the factory settings. I did not configured it so the IP I used till now was as mentioned in the manual i.e 192.168.0.1 I configured my pc's ip to 192.168.0.10 . Is that alright @gvdhoom...

So, have you updated the value of ip_add in the launchfile to 192.168.0.1?

Yes! @gvdhoom I can even see my laptop being connected to it via that lan connection double arrow symbol!
