Run sequence at bootup - network drives

I recently setup a wireless network using Linksys hardware. These machines require a network drive for a software package. The network is not visible until the Linksys "configuration" utility is runnning. The problem is Windows attempts to "reconnect" mapped drives before this utility is run. Is it possible to have this utility run before Windows attempts to connect network drives? If not, what dictates the run sequence of programs launched at startup? I could write a batch file to reconnect them as long as I could make it run after the "configuration" utility.

Thanks,

The LinkSys wireless devices I've setup haven't required anything other than the driver for the network card to load first. Is it a dos based program, if so you could slap it in the autoexec.bat.
