Notoriousness of Wireless (how to automatically reset connection?)

Hi all,

I'm having a problem that in all likelihood some of you have already faced one time or another: the notorious inconsistency of a wireless network connection.
I have one WinXP machine, that's connected to a wireless network via an access point. But sometimes, the access point loses the connection. It usually happens if I have just finished copying some very large file (3GB for example). I would have liked to configure WinXP to reboot/reset/repair-connection automatically whenever it loses contact with the wireless network.
For example, if ping to wifi-router fails, repair connection.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to do it convieniently? Ugh.. It would have been the definition of simplicity to do it on a linux-system, but on windows I'm quite lost about it.

Thanks a lot!
-FH
