ERROR 1441118076.606392345: Failed to connect to server, rc: -1. Error: 'Connection timed out' (errno: 110)

This seems to suggest that the fanuc_driver/robot_state node running on your ROS PC is unable to connect with the ros_state program running on your simulated robot controller. I can think of a number of reasons why this could be the case:

1. the IP you provided for robot_ip is incorrect: make sure this is the IP of the Windows PC running Roboguide
2. the firewall on the Windows PC does not allow external connections to Roboguide: you'll have to make sure that the frvirtual.exe process (which actually runs the virtual controller) is allowed to accept connections on ports 11000 and 11002 from hosts on your network. See Allow a program to communicate through Windows Firewall fi on how to do this for Windows 7.

You can use the following command to check whether things would work (without having to use the robot_state_visualize_m20ia.launch file):

nc ip.of.your.windowspc 11002

This should begin to dump a continuous stream of semi-printable data to your terminal (use ctrl+c to stop it).
