I'm in the midst of trying to set up turtlebot and I have encountered this problem.

When I type "roslaunch turtlebot_bringup robot.launch" on my laptop, the following message appears

Unable to contact my own server at [http://10.217.252.66:58698/].
This usually means that the network is not configured properly.

I tried pinging myself and it works. Any ideas what might be wrong? Thanks

How to you check your .bashrc form and how do you find your ROS_IP

You can open .bashrc by typing gedit ~/.bashrc in the terminal.

I solved it. I changed the following in my .bashrc from

export ROS_MASTER_URI=http://10.217.252.66:11311 
export ROS_HOSTNAME=10.217.252.66

to

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

If you wanted to use numbers, you may have needed ROS_IP instead of ROS_HOSTNAME.

I solved it! You can open .bashrc at first with gedit ~/.bashrc in the terminal and then add the code export ROS_HOSTNAME=localhost export ROS_MASTER_URI=http://localhost:11311 at the end of this .bashrc file.

You can also write the two needed lines in the terminal (=bash) just to test it at first. Mind that any change is lost when another bash is used.
If you put it in the .bashrc instead (recommended), it will be automatically loaded at any start of the bash, therefore the name of that file. To apply changes, you need to:
- restart the bash or
- "source" the .bashrc, then you do not need a restart of the bash: source ~/.bashrc.
