Well try this:
you will need a network interface card in each computer then you will need a cat5e crossover cable and connect them up. Now run the windows xp network setup wizard and then you should find you bro's computer in network places after a re-boot. If you are only connecting two computers you will not need a router but if you need a router i reccomend you use standard cat6 cables or standard cat5e. Hope this helps,
