I am trying to connect to mongodb from my system to different system but i am getting following error-

MongoDB shell version v3.4.5 connecting to: mongodb://192.168.0.152:27017/ 2017-06-23T18:06:50.643+0530 W NETWORK [thread1] Failed to connect to 192.168.0.108:27017 after 5000ms milliseconds, giving up. 2017-06-23T18:06:50.644+0530 E QUERY [thread1]

Error: couldn't connect to server 192.168.0.152:27017, connection attempt failed : connect@src/mongo/shell/mongo.js:237:13 @(connect):1:6 exception: connect failed

I tried various solutions listed on stackoverflow but didn't find any solution yet. Can somebody please help me out?

getaddrinfo() resolves domain names through the DNS protocol (which is not related the Netbios Naming System - reason why writing a Windows PC Name is usually a bad idea). Depending of the underlying implementation of the function it might or might not be able to resolve Netbios Names.

Usually using a Netbios computer name is a bad idea, you should rely on a proper DNS architecture.

If you have the exact same error with a mongodb:// URL using solely an IP address, it's weird... Please provide more details on the IP address try case.

Also ensure that the server is not firewalled. Try a netcat connection using netcat for windows:

nc IP 27017 -vv

should say 'Connected'
