They both need to be connected to the internet..wireless or cabled...

Then you register,and connect to Gamespy and enter flight mode you want...ie private,and arange your sterting time/location...

I would imagine it is more complicated because you are on the same IP. I would think he could connect over LAN instead of the main gamespy lobby. Perhaps someone with more gamespy experience can answer... I almost exclusively use FSHost Client. Gamespy is just a total pain.

Yea...I was unsure about the IP address myself......

If you are both using a router, then all you need to do to connect is to determine the Local IP address for your computer, and have your brother connect to your's using the LAN address:

Start
Run
Type: cmd
Type: ipconfig

A list will be printed on screen showing your Local LAN IP address.

My dev computer is 192.168.1.100 for example.
