KDE4 freezes when the other box goes offline [Solved]

I have installed in my main computer Arch with kdemod4, in my file server Debian testing that shares a directory with samba and with nfs and in my sisters laptop WinXP.

When the Debian box goes offline (i.e. reboot or poweroff) my main desktop freezes. I can still use applications like firefox or konsole or anything else that may be open at that time The rest of the desktop is unresponsive. Kicker does not respond to clicks and does not update the time, the trash can plasmoid does not respond to clicks etc.

To solve the problem I have to either bring back online the server or restart the main desktop.

The shared folder is mounted via fstab as nfs share and I can also access it as samba share with the kde discovery service.

As for the windows laptop it goes on and of all day without being noticed at all.

Try mounting the nfs share with the "soft" option.

Thanks. I tried that and it seems to work.
