Help with Internet gaming

[Jedi Historian]

I just started playing Empire at War online. My brother and I were recently on the multiplayer internet section of the game, and I hosted a game. However, when my brother tried to join the game that I hosted, he was asked to enter a password. He entered his account password, but the game said that it was incorrect. So my brother tried hosting a game, and when I tried to join it, I got the same 'password' message. I entered my account password, but it was also 'incorrect'.

What is really strange is that my brother and I can join any game except for each other's game, because games that are hosted by other people do not ask for a 'password'. If anyone can explain to me why the game is asking for a password to join my brother's game, and what this password is, since my account password isn't working, I would greatly appreciate it. My brother and I cannot play each other over the Internet, and is has been greatly discouraging. Thank you.

its becuase when u hosted a game u probably had to make a password thing enable where it needs a password not the accounts but the rooms password so in ur case if u did nothing the pass would simply be nothing. but u probably figured this out as in the post was 2 years ago.
