Default Tether not loading images

I'm using wifi-tether and also tried usb tethering and my internet works, but no images ever load up. Laptop doesn't have any problems, as it loads pictures fine when I'm connected to my FIOS service. Anyone have a clue as to why?
Thanks

It is a conspiracy to keep you from your porn. In all seriousness, I am not sure why this happens, but you are not alone.
Empirical evidence can never establish mathematical existence - nor can the mathematician's demand for existence be dismissed by the physicist as useless rigor. Only a mathematical existence proof can ensure that the mathematical description of a physical phenomenon is meaningful.

Have you considered the possibility that this may be related to your ISP? Tethering works, and the components used for tethering in the phone don't care if you are receiving an HTML file or a PNG image -- data is data.

Is that supposed to be some kind of an answer?

I also have Tmo, and notice this too. The strange thing is that the image will load in the phone browser, but not in my computer browser when tethered.

Since you mentioned it might be ISP related, I decided to provide the name of my ISP in hope of someone posting a way to circumvent the problem.

Rather than mentioning it (which is useless), you need to TEST it and post RESULTS.

How would I prove that. I believe all http data comes in the same port. I can't view pictures while they're integrated into webpages, but if I type in the URL of the jpg it would load by iteself.
