PBEM Problem - 2 computers, one game

I have a work computer and a home computer. I use the same coach name (exactly as far as I know), and I started a game on the work computer. The file was sent back to me on the weekend, so I wanted to do a turn at home. I can open the file in the tool, but I can't click on any players. It keeps telling me I am not the coach of either team. Is this because the game has to be played on one machine all the time or did I make a subconcious spelling error when I entered my coach name at work? I have tried about 3 permutations of the name and no go.
I cannot go to work until Monday to check the spelling. Any way I can get it to work short of that?

The game can be played on more than one computer, though for cheat detection reasonss most commishes don't allow more than 2 (so work and home). My guess is that you've made an unconsious spelling mistake. I'd suggest copying the bbcheck.ini from your work computer and sending it to your home one, and pasting it to the ini folder there.
And if you've started any games on your home computer doing the reverse, as you may have the same problem there.

The other alternative is that your opponnet clicked to say he was playing for both teams!!!
But yes - the issue almost certainly the log in name
