stand alone if you did it my way.
you can connect via LAN.
for other to join you need to forward your ports.

TF2 ports to forward are 27010 to 27015, correct? Tried disabling everything, even DMZ.
Getting a couple exec:couldn'ts in this console log
exec: couldn't exec skill1.cfg
exec: couldn't exec banned_user.cfg
banned_ip.cfg
cp_dustbowl.cfg
I'm starting to just think that this whole process/server creating isn't too Linksys router friendly... :/

Well i've tried just about everything. Opened more ports, did portforwarding.com router stuff, still not doing the trick. This computer running the server is XP and the one trying to connect is vista, although once the server is made i don't think that matters.
Can't think of what the problem is now, absolutely puzzled to death...

It's the router, if it doesn't forward the ports other people can't connect.
Did you try setting DMZ to the server?
If it doesnt work try to update the firmware.
If that doesn't work either you need a new router that does work.

I have tried DMZing my router, that didn't work.
If theres a way to DMZ specifically the server itself (i'm guessing in the server.cfg or something) i don't know how.
But yeah, the only problem here seems to be the stupid router...

Your problem is same problem many people have around here.
You lack understanding of basic networking.
In your router you should be able to DMZ a local IP address.
On your server, open a command prompt and type in: ipconfig
DMZ THAT local IP address. Most likely it will start with either 192.168.0. or 192.168.1.
