In order to create a lan world:
1) Make sure both of your computers are connected to the SAME network.
2)Make a world, press ESC then click open to lan.
3) go to your bros computer and click on Multiplayer Servers.
4)Check if it will show the world YOU are hosting.
5) Before your bro joins, make sure you are running the same version, and have the same mods.
6)Check if you have good internet connection.
7) click on that world.
Note: Close any browsers of stuff you have opened. It will decrease the lag in minecraft. If you somehow got MC for free, cracked clients will not work whatsoever.

In the end, the only things we regret is the choices we didnt make.
If you're in a war, instead of throwing a hand grenade at the enemy, throw one of those small pumpkins. Maybe it'll make everyone think how stupid war is, and while they are thinking, you can throw a real grenade at them.

#6 is irrelevant for LAN servers.
OP: find your computers IP address by opening a command prompt and typing in ipconfig. Use that to try and connect on your brothers computer.
Also note, you both need to have your own accounts. You cant play while logged in under the same account.
