A common reason for having difficulties on bnet is that the ports that bnet require you go have open in order to connect to others, and allow others to connect to you are closed.
If you have Windows XP, check to see if you have Internet Service Pack 2 installed (Go to Start --> Settings --> Control Panel --> Add/Remove Programs and look for Service Pack 2). If you do have SP2 installed, you'll probably need to configure the firewall that comes with it (http://www.blizzard.com/support/?id=msi0816p)
Since you have cable, chances are your using a router to connect to the Internet. You'll need to make sure that the appropriate ports are open there as well (http://www.blizzard.com/support/?id=msi0445p). For Open battle.net, you'll need port 4000 TCP and possibly port 6112 TCP.
For your brother, dialup shouldn't be the reason that he cannot join your games. Check to see if he can make games, or join other people's games (games that you aren't in). Also, did you install the game on both your machines using the same CD-Key? I have no real experience with open battle.net, and so I don't know if this applies or not. Logically speaking it should tell you if your both using the same CD-Key, but I thought I would mention it anyway.

I think it must be the level restriction you have set.
When u first start playing Diblo II X it automatically ticks a box where it restricts characters who can enter your game.
I think the default level restriction is + / - 5 levels around your own level.
Lets say its set to 5.
U r level 10 and you create a game.
Your brother is level 20 he tries to join your game but cant, as the maximum level it will accept is level 15. With the level limiter set in this case the limit is Levels 5-15.
I would untick the limit box , or change it to like 90.
Hope that helps.
(P.S) The box is in the area where u create new game, u will see options like setting the difficulty (normal , nm, hell) , game name, password and there will be one with the level limiting box.
