Did you swap the cable also? Could be a bad floppy controller on your
motherboard also. Check that /dev/fd0 is in fact a block device (the b in
brw-rw---- means block), major number 2, minor number 0:
brw-rw---- 1 root floppy 2, 0 Mar 19 2002 /dev/fd0
Boot a copy of Knoppix or even an old dos disk (www.freedos.org,
www.bootdisk.com) and see if the floppy drive works, to determine for sure
if it's a hardware or software problem.
As far as networking the computers, post a few more details and i'm sure
you'll get a lot of help from this list.
