Well, I've actually decided to abandon the B.net idea due to the massive amount of cheaters on it. I still don't understand how, even though my son joined a separate wireless network than mine, we could not enter the same game because of this supposed latency error. We are not using the same wireless router or network, and when he joined the other network, it said his IP had changed, so why on earth would we still be getting this latency error? Individually, we can enter and create games without any problems. But none of this matters anymore as I'm not going to play on b.net.
Most likely, the network you put him on was not set up to forward UDP traffic to him, so any attempt to join a game hosted by him would fail. It might work if you set up your router to forward traffic to you, then have you host the game and him join it. His join request would go to the unsecured WAP, up to the ISP, down to your router, and over to your system.
Yes, cheating in public games is a rampant problem. You could use password-protected games to permit non-cheating users to join you. Sadly, aside from inviting people from here, it is unlikely you could quickly find people who do not cheat.
