I’m unable to connect to host. The GUI is asking for a connection string (SRV OR STANDARD). Please provide the connection string.

Hi @Deepika_15237,

Please paste this connection string in the SRV OR Standard text field for connecting to the class atlas cluster.

mongodb://m001-student:m001-mongodb-basics@cluster0-shard-00-00-jxeqq.mongodb.net:27017/?authSource=admin&replicaSet=Cluster0-shard-0&readPreference=primaryPreferred&appname=MongoDB%20Compass&ssl=true

Alternatively you can also fill in the individual fields. Please click on Fill in connection fields individually and follow the instructions mentioned in the Lecture : Connecting to MongoDB Using Compass.

Hope it helps!

If you have any other query then please feel free to get back to us.

Thanks,

It looks like you might be behind a corporate firewall or VPN that prevents outbound connection.

Check with you system admin.

Hi @Swatee_Jain,

In addition to @steevej-1495,

Did you try to use connection string as well ? it’s better and efficient.

Thank you for your suggestions. As suggested it is due to corporate firewall. I also tried connection string with same error. I was able to connect on my home laptop.

Thanks
