I am a newbie for setting up the server environment and mongoDB. This may sounds something really simple, however, I really need your help on it.

The bindIp rule with comma separated IP addresses is only meant for known ethernet interfaces, or for the 0.0.0.0 and 127.0.0.1 rules. You can only use the ip addresses of your system's Network Interface Cards. If this list contains an unknown IP address, i.e. an IP of another system, your MongoDb instance will not restart and hence you're not able to connect. To check if your MongoDb instance is running, run the following:

$ sudo systemctl status mongod

If you would like to make your MongoDb instance available to other systems on your network, you'll want to bind the local IP associated with the private network. To determine network interface configuration easily, just run an ifconfig from the command line:

$ ifconfig

This will list all available IP addresses that you can use in the bindIp rule. Most certainly, the IP address 96.88.169.145 that you use is not a valid IP address or unknown by your system.
