Your post was very confusing.
When you are at home (A) you can connect to home (A-S)'s slingbox?
When you are at summer home (B) you can connect to summer home (B-S)'s slingbox?
Please rephrase your question using A and B to make it easier to understand.
I have two SBs. One at home, one at summerhouse. When I am at home, and try to access teh summerhouse sling, the player connects to the home SB instead. I cannot get to the home SB. If I turn off the home SB, the player attempts still to connect to the home SB and fails. Once I am away from home, I can access either.
What to do ?

i try again
When I am at home (A) I can connect to slingbox A (on the LAN at A)
When I am at summer house (B) I can connect to slingbox B (on the LAN at B)
When I am at neither location A or B I can connect to either slingbox.
When I at home (A) , and try to connect to slingbox B, the player actually connects to Slingbox A instead of slingbox B
When I am at summer house (B) and try to connect to slingbox A, it connects as it should.

When you are at home A, can your laptop access the internet? Maybe it can't access the outside web so is defaulting to the local slingbox.

Absolutely no problem with internet access, and I can access other devices located on the LAN at the summer house (B)

hmm. I'm stumped.
Have you tried a manual connection with an ip address while you are on LAN A to connect to slingbox B?

No I haven't. LAN B has variable IP and I havent got my head around setting up port forwarding and dynamic dns on the dsl box supplied by Neuf Telecom
I can update this by saying that I can access to slingbox B from LAN A from a virgin install of slingplayer on a new PC, if slingbox A is never turned on.
As soon as box A is turned on, the new PC behaves as described above.
I suspect a bug in Slingplayer.

You can get the IP address via Slingmedia. Go to this link.
Just replace the word SlingID with your SlingID for the box B.

Afterwards, try inputting the IP address and see if that works.

I suspect the router at A is grabbing your packets for SB B and sending them to SB A - it may be set to redirect any connection attempt to port 5001. Maybe set SB B to use a different port number and see if that resolves it.
The Finder ID is just like DNS, all it does is resolve to a current IP and port.
