Launch Application when connecting wireless

In a corporate environement I have successfully configured a wireless
connection on Windows XP, using the Windows software. If I login via wireless
it processes the login script and I get all my mapped drives. If I login to
my laptop (out of range of the wireless connection) using cached credentials
I obviously will not run the login script so no mapped drives. When I move
within range (without logging out or rebooting) the wireless connection is
established but I have no mapped. Is there some way to auto launch an
application (or login script) when establishing a wireless connection?

Thanks

Not without your logging out & back in. You're logged in with cached
credentials, not live, so nothing can be 'pushed' to your computer. You
could put a shortcut to the login script on your desktop. though.

PROset will launch an app/script for you.
