THX for reply... sorry I meant DHCP. Do you know how to pull up the IP info from within the phone Wi-fi hotspot ap?

Update:

Interesting.... laptop email works through phone wi-fi hotspot AP, as does Etrade Trading platform (not web based), but web browsing does not. I can see the gateway ip address and device ip address from Windows 7 Home on laptop, but there is no DNS IP address....

My knowledge of this stuff is strictly surface level...

maybe there is a connections setting I need to do to connect with Sprint / Boost...

I just set this up yesterday, but have had no problems accessing internet from the phone itself to internet via phone / Sprint boost (as opposed to accessing internet from another device through the wi-fi hotspot ap to Sprint / Boost.)

Perhaps Sprint / Boost has port 80 turned off to stop tethering....?

Still trying. Any help appreciated. THX.
