Can your brother connect to other games on Battle.net? Is it just your one?

he can join any game.. its just my game he cant join.

same with me. if he host i cant join his. but all other games we can join.

so we have to wait for other people to host and join the same game.

check the firewall settings - it's likely that the ports are open only to the internet, but not locally

also, just to double check, can the computers ping each other, and can you play via lan?
