I have two hosts that both reference the same account, but both have different CPID's...shouldnt they be the same - since the projects are the same and the account is the same???

This is a very common problem. Just attach one project to all hosts (like pirates) and eventually the IDs will sync up.

Cross-project identification of hosts
Each host generates an internal cross-project ID, which is the MD5 of the concatenation of its domain name, IP address, free disk space, and a timestamp. This is reported to the projects that to which the host is attached. The projects convert it to an external cross-project ID by hashing it with the owner's email address (this is intended to prevent spoofing). The external ID is exported in statistics files.
