I'd like to know if it's possible to share a network connection (wired) out of a computer receiving it's connection on a wireless network...

if your wireless computer getting network through wireless switch then you should put wire cable from wired switch to wireless swith and connect them both togeather after it your all wireless users can communicate with your wired users

Just bridge the wireless connection with the wired connection and connect the second computer with a crossover cable to the wired port on the other computer.
