how to connect another machine mongodb database inside local network ?

I follow this mongoose document enter link description here

mongoose.connect('mongodb://localhost/waterDB');

Using This, I can connect local machine waterDBmongoDB DataBase

My Personal Machine Local IP : 192.168.1.5

My Server Machine Local IP : 192.168.1.100

Both machine have waterDB DataBase . There is no username and password for both DB

I wanted to connect Server Machine waterDB Inside My Personal Machine.

According To This : mongoose.connect('mongodb://username:password@host:port/database?options...');

I try : mongoose.connect('mongodb://192.168.1.100:27017/waterDB');

But, 

MongoError: failed to connect to server [192.168.1.100:27017] on first connect
at null.<anonymous> (/home/water/node_modules/mongodb-core/lib/topologies/server.js:313:35)
at emitOne (events.js:77:13)
at emit (events.js:169:7)
..........

Any solution for err ?

Thank (@_@)

For me (using windows and mongo version 6, and remotely connecting from Mac), after changing config file to

net:
  port: 27017
  bindIp: "*" # OR 0.0.0.0

Then starting server with: mongod, it was still binding to 127.0.0.1 (localhost). I had to start the server with: mongod --bind_ip_all

You will have to use SSH tunnel in this case. Refer to the following link which shows how you can create SSH tunnel.

It might be a problem with your MongoDB instance listening on localhost only. You can change the bind address in MongoDB's configuration file. The config file may be located in /etc/mongodb.conf or /etc/mongod.conf. There are also 2 config file formats:

Old format (still supported):

bind_ip = 0.0.0.0

YAML (version 2.6+):

net:
    bindIp: 0.0.0.0

After changing the config file you have to restart the MongoDB server.

Try without the Port no.

mongoose.connect('mongodb://192.168.1.100/waterDB');

this should work for you.

But make sure both are connected on the same network, if you are connected on other network than your server is, then it wont work
