i cant figure out what settings to use,

the options i have are
Telephone number
account name
password

and under advanced
vendor (generic is default)
model (cdma, dialup, GPRS (GSM/3G))
APN if GPRS is selected

i think tel number would be #777
and password vzw
would account name be [mynumber]@dun.VZW3G.com, or i have seen other ways that i cant recall at the moment, guessing at it i think it was [mynumber]@vzw3g.net or something like that

I do have Macs, but, unfortunately, I have never tried to tether, and my Eris is no longer activated.

Just to ask, are you rooted? If so, are you running a custom ROM? And, if so, which one?

If not, would you consider rooting and then trying WiFi tether rather than USB tether?
