Re: newb question
You might have a home network setup. The IPs for machine to machine inside your network might be different than the one used to talk to the rest of the world. Try using 127.0.0.1
There are commands you can use to see what IPs are being used. But running them can be a headache. Is this a windows machine? xp? Do you know how to open a DOS command window?

Re: newb question
Try opening a dos window and typing ipconfig
if it gives you an IP different than you show when you are out on the net, then use that IP to connect to your own host.
If you brother cant connect by using the IP you show when you are out on the net then you probably have a problem with your firewall

Re: newb question
No the port should be the same. Its the same machine. It just might be using a different IP for "outside" vs "inside"
