Tethering issue

Got Skyrocket after migrating from Samsung Infuse4G where my tethering to laptop was working flawlessly, spped was pretty good. Migrated the plan to Skyrocket, tethering connects my laptop fine but only get sites like CNN, yahoo (perhaps already cached), CNBC, NYTIMES and many others simply hang. When tested on Skyrocket after stopping tethering, all sites work fine, also laptop connected to home wifi router all web sites work fine. Strange behavior! anyone ran into tethering issues with Skyrocket?
btw: also got 'camera failed' when clicked on Camera icon!
Spend hour plus with tech support, went to AT&T store no help! 2nd phone AT&T store mgr tried was DEAD, will not even power on. Another demo unit in store could not tether successfully either.
Not a happy customer at this time. Any pointers will be greatly appreciated. Did anyone try tethering a laptop using their tethering plan? I am in NJ and have no AT&T LTE here.
Thanks
 
Folks, can anyone test tethering on Skyrocket and tell me if I am the only one having intermittent/ad-hoc web sites access?:mad::( I am not in a LTE area at this time.
Thanks
 
Has anyone tried testing tethering with this phone yet? Simply can not make it work (tether with my laptop). Spent MANY hrs on phone with TierII tech support both Samsung and AT&T). Both keep saying do a hard reset! (that does NOTHING to fix the problem). changed phone, SIM card twice (one was DEAD won't even Power up at the store!:mad:).
Thanks
 
I did sign-up for a tethering plan. Even direct data web access on the device itself is on/off. Some web sites load, others simply don't. ALL websites work fine when I turn off tethering/data plan and connect to home wifi network. Something on the network that is funky:confused:
