i'm looking for a way to map a network drive so that it automounts when i connect to the network. I switch between two networks, one at school, one at home and i'd like my Powerbook to automount one of my network drives at home as soon as it connects to my wireless network.
I'm running the latest revision of Tiger, and I always connect via wireless.
Any help would be appreciated

everything I've found is how to a) not mount on reboot, or b) mount on reboot.
I haven't found anything on how to automount based on connection to a specific wireless network.
If you have a link to the answer, by all means, feel free to share it.

I've noticed that the new 802.11n AirPort Extreme base station & software will automount a connected USB drive.

AFAIK it isn't. USB disk sharing is a new feature of the 802.11n AP Extreme base station.
