[Nottingham] Odd behaviour in KDE

[Lee]

hmm, I'd check nfs version on both client and server, portmapper too,
and rpc stuff, check out some info form nfsstat too, that can shed light
on problem, netstat -s , is that giving you any info too??

I'd check the nfs server , c if it's choking  on something???

Laters,
Lee
