Running a script when connected to the lan

Is there a convenient way for macro scheduler to run a script when a network connection becomes available? I'm on a laptop with a wireless network connection, and I would like the laptop to run some of my scripts whenever it can connect to my network. I've got everything else working great, except detection a network connection.
Much Obliged,

Could set up a loop to periodically do a "ping" to a network resource.

Or IfFileExists>\\server\resource\folder\goodfile.txt on a network resource for a file you know will always be there.

If succcessful, continue, if not, wait and loop again.

That was helpful. I got success just using the result of the HTTPRequest with an if statement. Works like a charm.
