    I second the NAT router suggestion, your brother will also then have the
    added benefit of not having to connect a vulnerable system like XP
    directly to the internet so there is less chance of his PC being hacked
    or catching one of the nasty RPC type worms..

    It also means that his PC will not have to be running all the time when
    only you want to go online, more environmentally friendly.. :)

    Later..
