So, I have the server running now. However, people on my local network can't join. People outside the network can join. At first I thought it might be port access, so I tried the most cited method, coding ports 7780 and 27018 into the kf2 server. I checked multiple times to make sure that I coded those correctly.
But, the kicker is that actually with those ports being required, now nobody was able to join. However, that issue I'd like to sidestep. The other friend I share the network with has had no problems connecting to me on any other game. I'd like to think it an issue of forwarding, but that's why I forwarded the ports on my COM. So nobody else has to.
I also recommend they try to find the server through Steam. It does not show there either. At this point I don't know what the next troubleshoot is.
