I have a wired in router (not wifi) but i just got a touch and want wifi. Is there anyway to have my computer make a hotspot or something?
 
Yes, if your computer has Airport. If it does, go to System Preferences>Sharing and look for Internet Sharing.

You can share your wired connection to computers using Airport and then set a network name and password.

you said to computers...but will it work for ipods to?
 
Why not try it?

If it doesn't work out of the box, try these settings on the touch;

IP 10.0.2.2
Subnet 255.255.255.0
Router 10.0.2.1
DNS 10.0.2.1

I created a network and it showed up on my ipod but when I chose the network, it said, "unable to join network". I know that this should work because I have researched it on google. by the way I am running 10.4.11 and have a 2g touch.
