  <p>It looked like everything alright and the service was listening on 27017.</p>
  
  <p>However on another command prompt, <code>mongo</code> failed to connect and the screen just froze as follow</p>

  <p>I've checked the firewall rule, port 27017 is open. And ping 127.0.0.1 is responding. </p>
  
  <p>Any idea why the connection would get stuck?</p>
