Check Network/IP in script

I have a Macbook Pro that I use for work and home. I am trying to set up some scripts to automate things based on where I am but I am not sure how to approach this. I'm an AppleScript newbie, but have a development background, so bear with me as I understand how AppleScript does it's thing.
What I want to do is when I close the lid on the MBP and it goes to sleep, have it unmount all drives so there are no corruptions, etc. I have this working using SleepWatcher (http://www.bernhard-baehr.de/) and it's working fairly well.
My next thing is to use the .wakeup script to do some things (mount drives, set default printer, etc) based on where I am. But I'm lazy and don't want to have to set the Network Location.
There are 2 main places I am, but there are others as well. Work is through wired only. Home could be either (though moving to 802.11n so maybe only wireless). Other places are usually wireless and I have a Sprint air card/USB for when on the road.
Is there an "easy" way to check how things are connected in a script? I think I can do the setting but not sure how to check for the different networks.
Thanks!

The easiest solution is to not re-invent the wheel.

Disabling the computer's antivirus and firewall during the download and update usually resolves the timeout error.

I downloaded Itunes but when I click to open i get an error message "check network connection and try again". Windows 7 HP

I have successfully downloaded Itunes, however, when I click on the IStore an error message pops up "check network connection and try again". My network connection works perfectly and I have disabled all firewall and security programs. I've tried uninstall and reinstall several times and still get error message. Does anyone know how to get around this? THANKS!

Steps to Resolve the i meeage issue
1) Connect your phone to P.C and Back up your datas to P.C via I tunes
2) Once the back up is complete . Connect your phonbe to Wifi or 3G cellular network and Boldly go to Settings-->General --> Reset--> Erase all datas
( Do not worry if you had backed up your datas )
3) Iphone will reboot . it will take some time
4) Then your iphone will start . Click next and you will be prompted for i message activation . Give your apple id and Sign in
5)Keep your phone connected . In P.C you will be prompted if you want to restore ( EOther wise go to I tunes --> File --> Device--> Restore back up
It really worked for me .
Hope this is clear.
Thanks

TS4268 i keep getting message that cant be set up - check network connection. went to Apple store. they could not set it up and referred me to this article which also doesn't solve problem. Keeps getting network message, even in apple store. Help!!!!

I keep getting message to check network connection when i try to use face time or imessage. Went to apple store. They could not fix it and referred me to apple support which sent me an article to do the things the store had already tried. Store thinks it is a problem with the ID although the correctID and p/word are being used. Just get message that cant sign in and check connection and try again. Happens in every location. Can anyone help me with this since Apple can't?

Since you've tried the Apple Store, etc., even though you say your Apple ID and password are good, I suspect that's the likely issue.
I recommend double checking that with Apple. This link might help:
