Can't connect to my bro's dedicated server

My brother has a dedicated server setup for valheim on a separate PC at his house. Other people can connect to it just fine but I cannont. If he starts a game on his PC I can't join that just fine.
When I try to connect it just goes through the loading screen,never asks for the password, then just brings up a prompt saying "Failed to connect"

anybody have any ideas on what i might try? I've DMZ'd my computer on my router and done the port forwarding as well.

1. make sure crossplay is disabled on the dedicated server.
2, dedicated server and users must have the same version of the game installed
3. if the server is running mods, the users also have to have those mods installed
