Problems with Macs networking with Windows Server 2003.

I'll get right to the issue. I can't see files on my network that the Mac that created them can.

i.e. Mac #1 creates file, saves to server for Mac #2 to see and modify. #2 does NOT see this file. If I connect the #2 to the server via CIFS:// the files are visible, but not accessible. The file will not open. I can access the file, copy it, rename it and everything on the PC side of things but the Mac side is messed. Any advice from anyone? Thanks!

My main suggestion would be make sure you are logging in
to the Windows server from each Mac as the same User or
User Group with permissions dictated by the Server.
