"Disconnected"

I cannot join my friend's game no matter what I do. I tried restarting my computer, re-installing the game, made sure it was updated, and he did the same. What happens is he sets it up with "start server" and sets a password. Then from the steam friend's list I right click him and choose "join game". It gets all the way to the loading page where it shows the troll, a tip at the bottom and "Valheim" at the top, but as soon as it would actually take me into the world it just says "Disconnected" and pops me back at the character selection screen. Does the exact same thing if I try to enter his game by selecting my character, choosing the "join game" tab and finding him in the list, like in the game's menu rather than the steam friends list. It's all the same, just leads me to a disconnection. I tried to find help online but freakin EVERY SINGLE ARTICLE / FORUM post was for a dedicated server. This is not a dedicated server, we're just playing in his world via steam. Any advice would be seriously appreciated... he needs help getting his stuff back (went to the plains in bronze armor lol)

Ah, I'll try to keep subjects like this in "bugs" from now on, thanks for the heads up. And yeah I tried restarting our router but it didn't help at all. Luckily I had just bought that laptop, so I exchanged it for another one that has no issues. No idea what the problem was with that laptop. Seemed to have a glitchy wifi card or something.

This should really be under "Bugs & Crashes". That said, I've had the same issue locally (gf hosted a game and I couldn't reconnect after a weird crash). Had to restart our router for it to work.

UPDATE - Looks like the issue is specific to my laptop. Once I got home, I was able to connect on my desktop just fine. Does anyone have any ideas what could be causing this on a laptop specifically? I'm very confused by this...
