Errors shutting down a disk less client

I recently setup my desktop as a diskless thick client running off the network, to cut down on local noise and the need for an extra HDD. Almost everything worked (damn my PC is quiet now!) and I am able to boot up and use the system fine but I cannot shut down without it generating errors.

I'm pretty sure as to what the cause is - the network services are killed in the middle of the shutdown procedure so the steps which follow no longer have access to the drive to safely stop. I tried changing the order in which to stop services but I don't know what all of them do so could not improve on the situation beyond delaying the error during shutdown. I get a few more services to stop properly before the network is cut and the rest of the procedure blows up.

What would be the proper order and run levels that I should stop services in to safely shutdown a disk less client?.. or would I have to change something else to make this work?

I started out with linux about a month or two ago so I'm still very new.

Thanks for any help.
 
It would help to know what distro, what services, and what errors. Post your /var/log/messages file (atleast the error parts). We can't help if we don't know what the problem is (You only told us you have a problem :p)
