Yes, Zoo. What you'll have to do is to detach one computer (projects page), then Attach to Project... from Tools menu, making sure you use the user id that you used with the other computer. You may possibly have to log into BOINC again.

The reason you have this "problem" is that you have the 2 computers, each with a differing user id. Unfortunately you will have to lose the statistics of the computer that you re-attach (which, no doubt, will be the 2nd one of the two).
