Does the windows XP machine always have the same IP address or at least on the same subnet as the backup server when it is online?<br>>

Can you possibly have the Windows XP host run a script automatically when it is online that will trigger the backup process?<br>>

<pre>I need to come up with a shell script that will launch another script
when a specific host is detected on the network. This is for an network
backup system. The host is always off-line when the back up runs at the
night and I want to fire the backup off when it comes back on-line.
The script would run on the backup server as a cron job, and needs to
call the backup script only once per day.
The backup server is Linux. The host is Windows XP.
