You need to share them into a homegroup together. Or are you using a crossover cable? U cant just use notmal cat5 cables to connect a computer to a computer. Although, why on earth are you trying to access the internet through another computer? The whole idea sounds disasterous. Maybe get a wifi card for desktop if its a distance issue.
The floppy drive usually connects via a dedicated connector on the motherboard by a ribbon cable similar to the IDE cables but physically smaller and of course to the power supply. If the drive, the cable and the motherboard is ok it should appear in the bios list ready to be enabled and added to the boot order.
If the floppy drive doesn't appear in the list you should refer to the motherboard manual as there might be some jumpers to reset or perhaps it is only suitable for a usb floppy drive.
Take the number from the motherboard and do an internet search which should direct you to a place where you can download a manual which will contain all the information you need.
okay google these, and tell us what it is: IDE, Sata, or SCSI. If you don't have the same connection on both the computer and drive, then you need a new drive then that has that connection, my suggestion is to go to best buy and ask them if they have a * to * (the stars are what you need, and what you have) or get a new drive with that * (one you have)
first off does the motherboard have both sata and ide connections or just sata or just ide? (sata are small about maybe 1/2 inches in length and 1 mm wide and a ide connection is approx 5 inches long with about 4 inches long with over 100 pins and about 1/2 inches wide) i know that the opliplex 520 are nothing but sata so if it uses the same mobo as the 520 and you have ide then its imposible to install on your computer unless it either has a ide connection or you get a ide pci or pci-e controller card and install that onto the computer. but for the most part a ide connection needs a ide cable and a sata connection needs a sata cable.
You must properly connect that VGA cable from monitor to built-in VGA serial port of the motherboard or connect it to the Graphics card in your cpu unit if you are using a graphics card and not the built-in VGA serial of the motherboard. Then lock it.
networking you need nerworking cables which connect into the slots on the back of the motherboard the plugs for the network cables look exactly like those of a telephone cable and thus the plug female slots on the motherboard look like those on the telephone box. Plug these cables connecting the PCs you wish to network . secondly, you need network drivers for your motherboard you can download these from the manufacturers site. you should now be set to go depending on whether your drivers and Hardware is compatible with your Operating system
Let me know how you do (Networking can get complicated take it step-by-step and let me knwo if you have more questions)
regards
be sure sata is enabled on the bios, install sata drive driver, this is for your computer to detect a sata drive. connect the drive using sata cable to your board.
