I've read this question and set my MASTER_URI accordingly (own machine name) yet the remote node gets launched with another roscore.

Here is my launch file

<launch>
    <machine name="Panda" address="LabRob-Panda-01" user="panda" default="false" env-loader="/opt/ros/fuerte/env.sh"/>

    <!-- send roomba urdf to param server -->
    <param name="robot_description" command="$(find xacro)/xacro.py /home/erupter/Apps/ROS/simple.urdf" />
    <param name="tf_prefix" value="laser"/>
    <param name="use_rep_117" value="true"/>

    <node pkg="tf" type="static_transform_publisher" name="tf" args="0 0 0 0 0 0 base_link laser 10" />"

<!--    <node pkg="joint_state_publisher" type="joint_state_publisher" name="jsp"/> -->

<!--    <node pkg="robot_state_publisher" type="state_publisher" name="laser" >
            <remap from="tf" to="laser" />
    </node> -->


    <!-- Hokuyo Base Node-->
    <node pkg="hokuyo_node" type="hokuyo_node" name="hokuyo_laser" machine="Panda"></node>

    <!-- Rviz Node-->
    <node pkg="rviz" type="rviz" args="-d /home/erupter/Apps/ROS/hokuyo/hokuyo_node/hokuyo_test.vcg" name="rviz01"> </node>
</launch>

And here is the result of the launching

erupter@FCD-04-Ubuntu:~/Apps/ROS$ echo $ROS_MASTER_URI 
http://FCD-04-Ubuntu:11311/

I also tried setting an env like so

<node pkg="hokuyo_node" type="hokuyo_node" name="hokuyo_laser" machine="Panda"> <env name="ROS_MASTER_URI" value="http://FCD-04-Ubuntu:11311"/>

</node>

But it doesn't work. Distro is fuerte on both machines.

This is covered in detail in this answer.

Problem is ros_comm version together with actual shell variable. Updating ros_comm and correctly setting the env variable ROS_MASTER_URI corrects the problem.
