Stephen,
I am pretty sure you are running into a web farm scenario. To begin with, yo
u and the other develop, even using the different machines (each has commerc
e server installed), both point to the same SQL server as
admin database, correct?
In that case, it is a deployment of one commerce Admin DB server and two com
merce servers (kind of like two application server instances sharing the sam
e machine.)
Now, a site (let's call it retail2002) unpuped from the other develop's mach
ine can also be seen in your machine's commerce server manager. When you did
the pup, I guess you didn't choose a different
commerce site name. And that's so called web farm -- from your machine a new
commerce app for that site is created.
One thing to check, open your commerce server manager, choose retail2002 sit
e, open the applications, extend the retail2002 application, you should be a
ble to see two nodes under that (meaning that two
instances of the commerce app exist). Now, open retail2002 application's pro
perty page (not the site's property page). check the "nonsecure host name" f
ield, by default, it will be the first web server machine (the
other develop's). That's why you always are being redirect to that machine.
The solution? If you are intended to deploy a web farm, the best practice is
to change nonsecure host name to a host which can access two machines and d
ecide the traffic distribution. (for example, a load
balancer). If you do not want a web farm, make sure when you unpup the site
, choose a different commerce site name (in fact, if you choose the same nam
e, a warning dialog should pop up for your confirmation.).
Or from the beginining, use a different SQL server to deploy your commerce a
dmin DB.
You can get more related information by searching commerce server documentat
ion using keyword "web farm".

Could it be that both of you (the developers) are using
your machines only for web site development while sharing
the same Commerce Server backend ? If this is the case
and your server is not registered in the site database at
the backend then something like what you describe might
happen.
