Hi all,

My computer has two IPv4 adresses (one for the wired lan, one for the wifi). The computer name is gilgamesh. Its name on the wired lan is gilgamesh too. But its name through wifi is gilgamesh-wifi. When I start roscore, with wifi on, it complains about not being able to ping gilgamesh (While it should try to ping gilgamesh-wifi).

How to specify the name of the host computer when launching roscore ? (or any ros server)

try setting your ROS_MASTER_URI env variable to: ROS_MASTER_URI=http://gilgamesh-wifi:11311

Thank you, this works, but i'd rather use ROS_MASTER_URI when dealing with remote computer.
