Unable to connect to mongolab host
mlab, mongodb
Solution
It looks like your network is blocking access to that port. I'd recommend contacting your network administrator or trying from a different network.
To test your network connectivity alone (no credentials necessary) you can run this command. This example was run from my unprivileged laptop just now and demonstrates a successful test.
% mongo ds061158.mongolab.com:61158
MongoDB shell version: 2.6.1
connecting to: ds061158.mongolab.com:61158/test
rs-ds061158:PRIMARY> db.runCommand({ping:1});
{ "ok" : 1 }
rs-ds061158:PRIMARY> exit
bye
