I’m running a dedicated Team Fortress 2 server on my LAN to which I can connect through my TF2 client’s console. However, it does not show in my TF2 client’s server browser. When I go to Servers > LAN, it just says “There are no servers running on your local network.”
What could be the problem and how do I solve it?

This also fixes « Loadout unavailable on dedicated TF2 LAN server ».
UPDATE: Found out there there are a couple more reasons why this can happen.
