I need to check if my PCMCIA network card is working! - Wow....

Use the ping command to ping your modem's IP address. If you get a response then your network card is working. If you don't, then your network card is either not working or not configured properly (or your network cable is broken).

Good point, though it depends on what you think is wrong with the modem. is there anything else on your network you can ping?

 No. As i said, i have no other devices that i could connect to the card.
 Isn't there a "Card's IP" or something?

I'm not sure but I think ifconfig is included with most Amiga TCP/IP stacks, so this would show your current IP configuration. However, this would probably not be very useful since you are most likely using a static IP for your Amiga, due to the lack of DHCP support.

You may not have anything else you can put your PCMCIA network card in to, but another option would be to connect a crossover cable between your Amiga and any other computer. Then give them both IP addresses in the same IP range (e.g. 192.168.0.10 and 192.168.0.20) and then do ping tests between them. This way you will know if your PCMCIA network card is working.

I would guess it's more likely USER ERROR than hardware failure.

 I doubt it. It just stopped working after 2 days without changing anything..

Agreed, if nothing has changed then something is probably broken :-(
