Hmm to make sure its just you putting that launch command in right not both of you. If not that it might have something to do with your firewall but unfortunately can't help you there. Arma 2 uses 2302 as the default port as as long as you change it to anything but 2305, 2307 you can try that. You could technically change the port to 2303 because it goes up in values of 2. I don't think the port matters, but I could be wrong.

I had the same problem I recommend that you use only steam when launching dayz while you both try to play. Your brother can continue to use dayzcommander normally enter this in your launch options on steam. "-beta=Expansion\beta;Expansion\beta\Expansion -nosplash -mod=@Dayz -port=2350" (without quotes). Just copy and paste this exactly into your steam properties. This should solve your problem. Private hive should not matter didn't for me. Edit: There is a "-" in front of beta just pasted weird.

Yea it would look like that.

I believe they should just get rid of bandit skins altogether. I liked the fact that you couldn't tell who was a bandit or not (not that people don't just KOS anyways). Also seems to be to many glitches with the humanity meter i keep flip flopping between regular and bandit. If they kept the skins though maybe keep both for variance.

add to your launch parameters in steam properties " -port=2350" or if you use dayz commander go to options and enter that (without the quotes) in extra launch parameters. Arma 2 does not automatically change ports for another person connecting on the same router.
