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.

You keep saying Sprint / Boost. I don't think those two can be lumped together, even tho they ride the same backbone - doesn't Boost require some proxy crap to connect to the internet?
On Sprint, I know for a fact the service is wide open. So if you're online, that should be all you need.
Have you tried pinging an IP directly? Ping 8.8.8.8 in cmd on your laptop when tethered, see if you get a reply. Then ping
www.google.com - that will test if DNS is resolving names correctly.
You can always try a manual DNS entry, like 208.67.222.222 or 8.8.8.8.
