• Does the above fail when you put in the correct hostname for the remote server? It looks like it should work. What's the error you see if it fails? – wdberkeley Commented Sep 11, 2014 at 18:58

Does the second connection attempt fail for you, by reading Mongoose's documentation it seems like you have done it correctly:

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

Maybe you are missing the credentials to the server? See this link for more information: http://mongoosejs./docs/connections.html, or see MongoDB's connection documentation: http://docs.mongodb/manual/reference/connection-string/.
