Ad-hoc for ipod touch with internet

Hi, I'm trying to forward the internet to my ipod touch. I believe I've gotten the ad-hoc network itself to work properly, as the ipod claims to be connected, but it cannot use the internet. I've looked at https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Internet_Share and https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ad-hoc_networking but I can't exactly run the given commands on the ipod. =\ I don't really understand iptables and I've never successfully manually set up wireless before (x_x), thought it seems it's just this internet forwarding part that's really killing me.
Can anyone give me a push in the right direction, if not some working examples?

I assume the machine you are forwarding through is an Arch box -- If you had made the subject more Arch centric, you may have had a better response
I've not tried this, but the approach I would take would be:
Start by trying to serve something from the Arch box and see if you can hit it from the ipod. I don't know what you can do on the ipod, but I know it has a web browser. So, if you set up a light weight browser, you could verify the operation of the ad-hoc wireless network.
Then, I would start on the forwarding. Here, I would try to use a laptop instead of an ipod to check out the ip forwarding. If that is not practical, maybe a virtual machine running on the host. This would work with a managed network, but I don't know about an ad-hoc net.
Okay, so maybe this wasn't a push as much as it is a nudge.
Edit: fixed parts of speech

Release date for iPod Touch with camera?

Is it true that they will release an iPod Touch with a camera? Does anyone know if this is confirmed and if there's a release date for it?
Thanks!

Anything you read elsewhere is just a rumour until Apple says anything.
and let's be honest, apple rarely say anything until just before it actually happens.

IPhone 2.0 firmware for iPod Touch with Software Upgrade

Okay, don't get me wrong... I don't think Apple should always give everything away for free. But since I already spent my precious $20 back in January for the Software Upgrade, I should DEFINITELY get the $10 2.0 FW update for free since it INCLUDES the software I already purchased! Apple... ya listening??!!??

i COMPLETELY agree with you. i mean the math alone reveals the nonsense. i will be spending approx. $30 for the two upgrades, while plenty of people will be getting the EXACT same package for only $10! it's almost like we're being punished for purchasing early. what gives?

Internet problems on my macbook pro and ipod touch with camera.

Hi,
For the last week or so I have been experiencing internet problems with my macbook and iPod touch with camera. I'll be online and clicking different news articles and suddenly the address bar will start to open a link but will not complete it. So what I do is go up to the signal bar and click turn off airport then turn it back on and that will temporarily solve the problem. Same solution on my iPod, I turn off the wifi and turn it back on. It is very frustrating for both devices. I will include as much info as possible. I have a NetGear RangeMax wireless router model WPN824v3. I was wondering if changing the wireless settings on that would solve my problem. I have the channel on 9. Mode on b and g. Security option on WPA-PSK [TKIP] with password. I would be happy for any help with this issue. Also I hope I'm following correct posting protocol. I haven't been on this forum in a while.

Sig,
Thanks for the advice. I finally tried a solution after doing nothing. LoL. What I did do was change the channel the router was on from 9 to 7. I think I've done something like this in the past when I had slow internet and that worked out well too. I thought that would help and so far so good. Not an interruption so far but we shall see. To the guy or girl who expressed that they had the same problem as me I would try changing the channel of your router like I did. I will monitor the situation and see if it totally solved my problem or not and keep this thread updated. Thanks people

How do I update my ipod touch with my new email address for my itunes account?

How do I update my ipod touch with my new email address for my itunes account? I recently changed my email address and updated it on my itunes account but now my ipod keeps asking me for the password associated with my old email address.

I did this and I still get a error message about either the
password or the email account is incorrect!

I lost a lot of tracks while syncing my ipod touch with iTunes. I have managed to get some of them back with a free download, but iTunes will not let me dowload whole albums which I have paid for. It does recognise that they have been purchased. What do n

As I've already said to get this far: I have lost a lot of tracks while syncing my iPod Touch with iTunes. I have managed to get free downloads of some of the single tracks, but when I try to download entire albums the system informs me that I have already purchased them and a pop-up window informs me I can get them back from my "Purchased" file. I would not be trying to dowload them again if they were anywhere on the iPod, would I? The other problem seems to be that with single tracks I don't know before I hit the purchase button if I have picked it from the right album and I have had to pay for it again.
I feel that I have been totally ripped off by iTunes and, apart from ranting on this forum, I don't seem to be able to let my feelings known. It's like a guy from my local record store coming round and nicking my albums and telling me that it's tough!
The point here is folks, that it was syncing two Apple sites which caused the loss of these tracks and from what I've read elsewhere this is a regular fault. And please don't tell me that it's my fault for having a pc. Apple shouldn't sell a product for pc, when it doesn't work on pc!

- Are you saying that they are not listed in your Purchased section?
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
- Are they listed in your Puchases history when you log into your account on your computer?
- Are they still available now for purchase? If not then you are out of luck
If they are still available and listed in your Puchase History then contact iTunes

See Here for
Frozen or unresponsive iPod touch
The Basic Troubleshooting Steps are:
Restart.. Reset.. Restore...
Try this First... You will Not Lose Any Data...
Turn the iPod Off... ( if it isn’t already )
Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
Wait for the Apple logo to Appear and then Disappear...
Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... (But can take Longer...)
Release the Buttons...
Turn the iPod On...
If that does not help... See Here:

My daughter has and ipod touch with free texting I would like to delete it and open a new app for her with a new number..I deleted the old number and when we downloaded the new app it gave her the same number how can I change text

My daughter has an ipod touch with free texting, she received an inappropriate mssg and I would like to delete it and download it again to receive a new number. when I download the new app it gives her the same number? can i do this?

Have you tried the developer's support web site? Withut you providing the name of the app makes it very hard for us to give specific recommendations. The only one that i can thin of is to purchase the app using a diffeent iTunes account.

What did the error message say?
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
