mongoDB, connection refused

By default MongoDB only binds to the loopback interface which makes it only accessible from localhost. To change that you need to edit this line in mongod.conf file;

# /etc/mongod.conf

# Listen to local interface only. Comment out to listen on all interfaces.
bind_ip = 127.0.0.1

you can change it to bind_ip = 127.0.0.1,192.168.1.102 to allow LAN and local connections or you can remove or comment out that line to allow all connections.
