POST Submissions don't always work

They usually require a second submit

I hope someone can helpout - I'm on a deadline and starting to pull my hair!

First, I copied code from one server to a new one (same server OS, software..etc...just new server with a different domain(different customer)) - ok, so on the new server my forms sometimes doesn't submit the data. For example if I have two pages:
Page1: this page is the form which submits to page2
Page2: before doing anything this page verifies the form data and spits out an error to the user saying they forgot to fill in information.

The problem is - on the first submit - Page2 says it didn't get anything...but in my browser, I can hit "refresh" to make it submit the data again - and then it works. What is going on? I may think it was my browser...but the form works flawlessly on the original server... for some reason - form submissions on this new server just isn't working right the first time. NOw, I have to say that sometimes it does work on the first submit...but it's almost 50/50.

ANY suggestions/help would be greatly appreciated as I have been trying to FIND the cause...but have been unsuccessful and now my deadline is here!
