yes, that is how it usually works. "connect" button puts mouse into
"paring" mode where it "pairs" with a particular host. after "pairing"
is complete, mouse will connect to the same host and will not accept
connections from other hosts. the same (well almost the same)
situation is with bluetooth headsets. "almost" here means that the
some headsets can "remember" multiple (usually about 5) hosts. the
logic is to connect to the last known/active one, and if it fails, try
others in order. i'm guessing your mouse can only "remember" one host.
i'm afraid there is nothing can be done here. except "re-pairing"
(i.e. pressing connect button) mouse to each host every time you
switch computers.

thanks,
