I've got one emac with a wireless USB stick currently connecting to my wireless router. Is it possible for a second emac to piggyback off the same wireless connection if I were to hook the two emacs together with a crossover cable? If so, how would I do this?
Not a big deal if I can't as I have ordered a 2nd wireless USB stick, but was just curious if it would work.

Mac ethernet ports are auto sensing so no need to worry about crossover cables. USB stick - someone else will have to help with that.

Why not instead connect the two eMacs with a firewire cable, boot one or other into Target mode, and then do your "piggyback" thing that way? I too am unsure what you mean by a "wireless USB stick"? Are you using bluetooth?
