THIS IS NOT DONE PLEASE DO NOT FOLLOW THIS YET

First, in order to resolve some of the built in Linux security you must add the IP addresses and computer names to the /etc/hosts file (here is an overview on what this file is). Note: if this is not done, when the client connects to the host's ROS master, the client may be able to view the rostopics (rostopic list) but the client will not be able to echo the topic (rostopic echo /topic/to/view) properly.

Host Computer

In the command line:

hostname -I
export ROS_HOSTNAME=[output from hostname -I]
export ROS_MASTER_URI=http://[output from hostname -I]:11311
roscore
rosrun camera_stream camera_sender_node
