I don't think it's an internet issue, as I am connecting to the ip of a local vm. What are your thought?

Hi @aneeshvaidya ,

Can i get your OS information if possible ?

[aneeshvaidya]

I'm running OS X Yosemite 10.10.3. Currently I'm running docker containers in boot2docker, and trying to connect to the exposed port of the mongo service that I'm running.
