Server Server not visible on Lan Tab

I'm trying to host a killing floor 2 server for a lan party and
the issue i'm having is that the server isn't listed on the lan tab (I previously posted this on the killingfloor subreddit https://www.reddit.com/r/killingfloor/comments/3zzcxu/killing_floor_2_dedicated_server_not_visible/), i can connect to it just fine through the console (open <ip>) but it refuses to show up on the server browser.

The only thing that stands out to me from the logs is
Code:
    [0013.55] DevLobby: LobbyJoinGame ServerIP=
apparently the server's IP isn't assigned to the ServerIP variable in LobbyJoinGame...
is there any way to assign that manually through either the server console or through any other configuration? i've browsed through the wiki and i haven't seen anything related to it.


Things to note:

  • I have updated the game and when i run "app_update 232130" it calls out saying that the app is up to date.
  • I'm running the game on a separate machine in my network. (i can ping to it and i can actually connect to the server using console commands as stated previously)
  • PC acting as server is running on windows 8
  • I've done a clean install of steamcmd and downloaded the server overnight, it's still not showing up.
  • I have validated my server files ( "app_update 232130 validate" )
  • I have deleted steamapps folder and then forced validation once more (no results)
  • I've turned off windows firewall

Here's the latest server log

Spoiler!


Any help or hint would be greatly appreciated.

Update

Turns out the problem was on some of my client PCs. If you have virtualbox (or any other program that has its own network adapter), disabling the adapter actually makes the server show on the browser.
