To be able to connect to your Camelot Mobile Server machine remotely, the firewall on this machine must not be blocking port 9797. Follow the appropriate instructions below to add the exceptions for this port.
Keep in mind that these instructions are for adding the appropriate exceptions to the 'Windows Firewall', which is usually the only firewall in use. Since it is possible that you have installed and are running some other firewall program in addition to or instead of Windows Firewall, you need to be sure this port is added as an exception/unblocked there as well. The instructions would be similar to below.
