Multiplayer connection drop out during map load

Hi,

I finally convinced my mate to buy factorio the other night, and i went over to his place and we LAN'd for about 6 hours. Had absolutely no issues.

I've come home today and we've attempted to do a Direct Connect over the internet, and it doesnt matter who is hosting, roughly 5% into downloading the map, the connection will drop. We both have decent bandwidth, but my mate has a small amount of packet loss issues, which would also kick him frequently when we played minecraft.

Was wondering if there is any simple solution to this?

does your friend use an ethernet cable or wifi?
