Internet Sharing from Macbook Pro to iPad???

Trying to get my wife's iPad to connect to the internet in a hotel that has wired high speed internet but no wifi.

My MacBook Pro connects just fine. So I turned on Internet Sharing for both Bluetooth and wifi (with WEP password for wifi).

The iPad connects to the Mac by wifi but says it has no internet connection.

With Bluetooth, it pairs OK. The Mac sets it up as serial port sharing (no other choice offered, but within that there is a choice of modem or RS232 protocol). But when I try to connect it connects momentarily then disconnects right away.

Any suggestions on how to let the iPad get at the internet in this situation?

MacBook Pro 13", 4G RAM, 250GB HD, Mac OS X (10.6.3), Parallels 4.0, Final Cut Express HD 3.5, iPhone 3G.
