are they separate computers? 
hi ShawnZ
For me 90% mostly it's the laptop that moves to same place I am. I boot up a windows XP PRO machine and automatically sign in, so automatically passing some location info into the Msngr Status Line is my objective. Usually it's a cold boot but it would be nice if the solution would work if my last shutdown was in hibernate mode.
Is the status line text somewhere in the registry - I wonder...
However I would be interested in a solution which caters for a different machines too (others I work with move to different branches and so you can not tell where they are unless ofcourse you ask them
For different machines, won't it be possible to just grab the computer name from the WLM settings (used for signing in on multiple locations)? I'm no scripter, so I don't know. Detecting location based on IP sounds like a good feature, I'd use it
