ROS with optitrack setup
Hi all,
I am using ROS Kinetic on an Ubuntu 16.04 machine and want to obtain data from optitrack motive. I have seen the following posts:

https://answers.ros.org/question/2273...
and they helped me understand that I need to use either mocap_optitrack or ros_vrpn_client, but I couldn't understand the most basic question:
What should y computer setup be? Should I be running Ubuntu as a VM inside the windows PC with optitrack motive? or the other way around? or create a local LAN between two separate machines?
In all cases I also have the following misunderstanding: If the Ubuntu machine (or VM) is connected to the drone (I use an ar-drone2) via the drones wifi adapter how can it also be connected to the Windows machine and its network? When starting with ROS I remember everyone saying not to have the ROS machine connected to more than one network at the same time, so how is this supposed to work?
As you can tell I just started looking into this and have no clue what I got myself into. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
