The IP of Ubuntu machine is 192.168.0.180

Set up the IP of UR5e robot, I first got this IP by click DHCP and then made this same IP 192.168.0.177 as Static

I can ping the UR5e robot (192.168.0.177) from Ubuntu PC (192.168.0.180) with no problem, however, when I click play, It throws the error below on the teach pendant:

And in Rviz no UR5e robot shows up. Could you please help?

Did you run the ros driver on the ROS machine before pressing play as written in the README?

If yes, this sounds like a firewall issue.

Or maybe a more stupid question: Did you start the ROS driver beforehand?

UniversalRobots / Universal_Robots_ROS_Driver

Connection refused with UR5e and ROS noetic #590
