mongodb remote connection problems

I took several days trying to configure my environment running linux mongodb without results. This platform is running on AWS EC2.

mongodb is configured with auth=truecommented, and with port=27017

My problem is when I try to connect remotely (or even from the same machine), I got:

-bash-4.1# mongo myIP:27017/mybd 
MongoDB shell version: 2.4.9
connecting to: myIP:27017/mybd
Wed Apr  2 20:57:28.250 Error: couldn't connect to server myIP:27017 at src/mongo/shell/mongo.js:147
exception: connect failed

But if I try with localhost:

-bash-4.1# mongo localhost:27017/mybd 
MongoDB shell version: 2.4.9
connecting to: localhost:27017/mybd
>

Now more info:

-bash-4.1# netstat -a

-bash-4.1# iptables -L -n

Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT)
target     prot opt source               destination         

Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target     prot opt source               destination         
ACCEPT     tcp  --  0.0.0.0/0            0.0.0.0/0           tcp spt:27017 state ESTABLISHED

And finally, I've made sure that the security group is right. I've opened 27017 and 28017 to anything from the outside with 0.0.0.0/0.

edit your /etc/mongod.conf

bind_ip = 0.0.0.0
