External Mongo server not connected in windows

help

SET MONGO_URL=mongodb://root:abce@ds123.mlab.com:1200/mydb

i used above command to set external mongo server.
after that i run the meteor application using following command

meteor run --port 3400

when i try insert a document it doesn’t insert into external mongo server.
it inserting into local mongo server.
how can encounter this issue ? i searched over the internet. people suggested to use
SET MONGO_URL=mongodb://root:abce@ds123.mlab.com:1200/mydb this command since i having issue.

Try something like this:
SET MONGO_URL='mongodb://root:abce@ds123.mlab.com:1200/mydb?autoReconnect=true&connectTimeout=60000&authSource=admin'
and be sure that the port and auth database name are good.
