The latest version of MSN Messenger is 7.0.0816

The latest version of Windows Messenger is 5.1.0680

Maybe an upgrade will help.

You may want to update your windows messenger to the latest version that has
been released. (Windows Messenger 5.1)

The download link is available here.

Windows Messenger 5.1

Other steps you should take...

Goto Tools, Options within Windows Messenger, and see if your son and
brother's contacts are on "My Allow List". Also see if they have added you
to "Which people have added me to their contact lists?" by hitting the View
button. If they are listed there, they are on your list, if they aren't,
then they aren't on your list.
