Dentist, Slightly incorrect info in your statements-- When you tell Windows to share the connection, it should automatically become a DHCP server for the "other" connection--in this case the wired Ethernet. At least that's how it worked the last time I did it. You shouldn't need to do manual configuration of IP's on the Ethernet side. And of course, the wireless side will simply be getting an IP from the "Internet" side of things--either the router or modem depending on the specific network configuration in use.
