Using GP depending on whether user is in/out of the office

Hi, I'm wondering if there is a way to use GP to apply a setting depending on
whether a user is logged on at the office or out of office. The setting I had
in mind is enable/disable using a proxy found in Internet Options. Enable it
if the user is in the office and disable it when out of the office. Is there
a way to do this? Any ideas would be great.

Many thanks.

Logon script would be the way to go. Since the user would be external you
should be able to tell via the ip address. Using a script language such as
vbscript would have the ability to do this.

There are scripting NewsGroups that should be able to help in this endeavor.
