same results

What steps will reproduce the problem?

to be able to tether using 4g. i am  only able to go to google.com, cnn.com. 
and only able to go to the main page. i can search through google, but i cannot 
click any link that would take me to a "third party," however, if i close my 4g 
connection and use 3g i have no problems surfing the web.

i have changed many different roms and versions of wireless tether ,flashed and 
wiped every time.  All have produced the same results!

I have the same exact problem.  Google.com, Cnn.com; those I can see.  When I 
try ESPN.com it won't load, well not much of anything else will load.  Thank 
you for your time.

I'm rooted on EB13 deodexed
EB13 Dual FS kernel

3.0-pre10

I'm using an Epic 4G

Ahm. Maybe we have a wrong nameserver. 

Are you guys able to open via ip-address such like:

http://8.20.73.105/
?
(that's www.nhl.com by the way)

Nope, I just tried that ip-address, and no luck.  Funny thing is that I'm 
leaving this comment via connection through the app!  On 4g!

It's working on 4g, for some odd reason, at least on my phone (and maybe the OP 
also) it seems that we can access anything google related on 4g no problem, the 
problem lies when we try to get away from anything with google on the URL.

I can confirm the issue on an Epic 4G.  It started with an update loaded on 
2/25.  Prior to that all was great.  Now I see a connection between the 
computer and the phone, but get no bandwidth except loading Google sites.  I 
started with Eclair and 2.0.7.  I have since loaded midNIGHT v4.1 and 
3.0-pre10.  Neither work.

Ok. So, under which conditions are you not able to open a url? 

http://8.20.73.105/

Is this on 4G only?

Well, I was trying wireless tether, the latest version, but for our purposes I 
reinstalled wifi tether 3.0-pre10.  Now, it just force closes on 4g, I'm going 
to try 3g now.

Regarding the force closes ... please provide logcat-output!

Ok, well, like I said, I had tried going back to the wireless tether version 
2.0.7 (I believe), now I can't anything going through 3g, it on shows 'limited 
access' and on 4g it reboots.  I am willing to provide any logs you might need, 
please just walk me through it, I hope I'm not being bothersome

Ok, it didn't reboot this time with 4g on, but I'm not getting anything.  My 
computer is recognizing the wifi tether, but it either connects with limited 
access or not at all, 4g seems to go to sleep, even as I'm trying to access a 
website, seems like even though my computer says connected, they really are not.

Ok, up and running again.  I started again.  Wifi tether on 3g seems to work 
with no problem, I'm sending this message with it.  http://8.20.73.105/ I was 
able to open that, no problem, through 3g.  4g same as before, can't open the 
nhl page, nor any other nongoogle addreses (except CNN, that one I get to the 
home page, and that's as far as that goes, on 4g).  In short, 3g works, 4g is 
not.  Is there any other test you'd like me to do?

First. If you get a force-close please provide the logcat-output!

If you have "adb" installed/configured please use it to dump it. Something like
adb logcat > logcat.txt
would work.

Or use an app (available in market) - I don't personally use it bit it might be 
helpful:

No, not force closing anymore.  I erased and went back to a previous restore 
point I had saved on my phone.  I can use wifi tether without Force closes or 
reboots.  3g wifi tether working great, even on the URL you gave me.  4g?  Only 
works on google addresses.

including unrooting and re rooting again, but the problem still exists.  can it

just to let you know i figued out a work around kind of........I went to 
movies2k started a movie on 3g then turned on 4g then open a new window, 
somehow once done in this mannor, i was able to  shut the movie down(and 
window) and low and behold Im still ripping it up at 4g speeds...........For 
how long who knows.............I will see when I get to work if i can do it 
again. But for the last 2 hours no problems..........

Maybe just a coincidence because I have been unable to get it to work. I'm 
still stuck using easy tether and bring the usb cable everywhere like it 
matters because the battery dies way to quick on the phones.

i did online with chat with sprint, the rep refreshed the service, i restarted 
my phone and 4g was working again!

this may be alittle late but i found a workaround for this problem.  For me, 
having barnacle wifi tether running in the background allowed me wireless 
tether to open up sites other then google
