currently when you start a node with goroslib it registers itself and topics it creates under an IP address as seen here:
2024-11-06-160353_5040x1920_scrot
this is even the case when setting the Host variable within the NodeConf structure.

when using the basic rospy talker listener, we see here that it will use the hostname:
2024-11-06-165523_5040x1920_scrot

this unfortunately makes it so nodes running on another computer over the network cannot see the rostopics if ROS_IP or ROS_HOSTNAME are set properly on the remote.

i've looked through the code and it does seem like a larger change due to the fact that there is already ipv6 support built in,
i have a branch where i've made it work, but had to remove support for ipv6.
