6 months ago I'm experiencing the same problem, however, in my setup, I have 2 ur10e, one runs smoothly, but the other one is not able to connect via external control. I did notice that the problem is related to the IP address, if I exchange the IP addresses of the robots the one that wasn't connecting is then able to connect and vice versa.

Solved by disabling firewall with sudo systemctl stop ufw

6 months ago Hi @adetoni1, thank you for your response. I have tried your suggestion sudo systemctl stop ufw but it does not work for me.
I also tried time echo 'exit' | telnet portquiz.net 50002 but got an error that the connection is closed by foreign host
Trying 35.180.139.74... Connected to portquiz.net. Escape character is '^]'. Connection closed by foreign host.

6 months ago I'm sorry to hear that. But I did read that you already tried to stop the firewall in your problem description so I was expecting this. Btw, I'm no expert, but in your case, it seems very related to the fact that port 50002 is not open, in my case I can see it on my host PC. I suggest understanding why 50002 is not there while waiting for someone more experienced to answer!

6 months ago I noticed that when I run netstat -tuln, 50002 is not among the active ports displayed
However, after I run nc -l 50002, then run netstat -tuln again, the port becomes active, but the program does not start on the teach pendant

6 months ago I found a way around it. Firstly, I executed the launch file for UR5 robot using roslaunch ur_robot_driver ur5_bringup.launch robot_ip:=192.168.1.2, then executed the launch file for my UR5e robot roslaunch ur_robot_driver ur5e_bringup.launch robot_ip:=192.168.1.2.
Thank you for your assistance @adetoni1
