Sometimes I get the following error while I was doing HttpWebRequest to a WebService. I copied my code below too.

System.Net.WebException: Unable to connect

This is really specific, but if you receive this error after trying to connect to a database using mongo, what worked for me was running mongod.exe before running mongo.exe and then the connection worked fine. Hope this helps someone.
