Can't receive FaceTime calls on MacPro

I have only used FaceTime a few times over the last few years. This year, I needed it to do business. The call came to my iPhone and I could not receive it on my MacPro, although I could see it there. I have read in another post that iPhone calls can't be passed off to the computer. However, even though FaceTime (FT) is open on my computer, FT calls are always received by my iPhone. So, I can call out on my MacPro, but I can't receive. Is there some way for me to chose which device I receive the call?

I have gone into my iPhone FT and indicated that I do not want the phone to receive calls made to my email address. Will that allow me to receive FT calls on my computer?

MacBook Pro (13-inch Mid 2010), Mac OS X (10.7.2)
