Connecting simulink/matlab and Ros only work one way, but can't receive messages

Hello guys, I'm trying to connect a Duckiebot with ROS to MATLAB Simulink (unfortunately, I'm compelled to use them), and something strange is happening. I can ping both devices, and I can also send commands from MATLAB to the robot. The problem is that MATLAB/Simulink is not able to receive messages from the robot. I've tried various guides ( like this https://it.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/119559-why-is-the-ros-subscriber-callback-in-matlab-not-triggered-when-messages-are-published-from-an-exter ) on the internet, but it's not working. Do you know how to resolve this issue?

the strange thing is that sometimes (like 1 in 100 tries i can actually read the data, but if i try again i cann't recive anything., and we also tried with the same robot but connected to a macbook with matlab and it works perfectly, so the problem is windows but i really idk how to do it.

Hi Mariano,

This issue might be occuring because of Windows firewall configurations. You should disable any firewall software you are using or try to add a generic incoming rule.

This should resolve the issue.

We tried disable the firewall, or config ROS_IP. Nothing work.

The only thing that worked was using a macbook or a pc with ubuntu + Matlab.
