iPad won't connect to wireless network but laptop can

My iPad recognizes the wireless network but wont connect to any websites.

My husbands lap top is having no problem connecting to the wireless network and websites.

Why won't my iPad connect to any websites?

Mac OS X (10.5.4)

My husband had the same problem. All our devices were connecting but his. We tried resetting the network on his iPad, updating his IOS & nothing seemed to work. I decided to look under the WIFI information on one of the devices that was working with the wifi to retrieve the IP address & other info. The only field that could be accessed on either device was the DNS field, so we went to my husband's iPad & manually entered the same DNS address from the working device & hit return. This allowed him to enter the password & it connected! Hope this helps!
