Now that tethering has been added to your AT&T account, you need to configure the iPhone to use tethering.
Turn tethering on by going to your iPhone's home screen and tapping the Settings icon (assuming you haven't re-arranged icons and put the app elsewhere. If so, go to it wherever you've put it). Select General -> Network and scroll to the bottom. You'll see a button called Internet Tethering. In iOS 4.3 of later, the option is now called Personal Hotspot. It should read "Off."
If it doesn't, make sure you've added tethering to your AT&T account properly. Call AT&T if necessary.
Tap the Internet Tethering/Personal Hotspot button. On the Internet Tethering/Personal Hotspot screen, you'll see an on/off slider and instructions on how to connect your iPhone to your computer to use tethering. Your options are WiFi, USB and Bluetooth.
Determine which of those you want to use. If USB, plug your USB cable into your iPhone (but not the computer yet). If Bluetooth, make sure Bluetooth is turned on for both your computer and phone (via Settings -> General -> Bluetooth). If WiFi, you'll join the WiFi network created by the iPhone using the password listed on this page.
Slide to slider to "On."
