Problem night not be on your side, does your friend has a public server? Can other people connect to the same server? And Where your friend connects from ?
It says "connection timeout" that means your client does not receive any reply form server.

if they are on same local network then he must be using local ips : such as 192.168.x.x behind the router.
to make server public and make it available on internet you need to port forward the application form router firewall which will allow other computers in internet to connect to your server through your router.
On local network it is not necessary since each computers can see each other without NAT translation.

Edit: i.e. if your friend and his brother connects form same network then he needs to port forward game server service form router and allow others to connect to the server. The procedure of port-forwarding varies from different router manufacturers.

Your friend probably failed to port forward. Tell him to redo the port forwarding. If he has port forwarded 25565, it should be fine. Plus. If he is accidentally giving his local ip (192.168.x.y) you can't connect using it! Tell him to google "what is my ip" and connect through that ip. If none has solved the problem. Tell him to go to control panel and give permission to java to bypass firewall
