Trying to get Mac Pro wi fi to be recognized by iPOD touch

My mac Pro was purchased with the Aiport Extreme card. I can use airport on the MAc to connect to my remote Airport Express card to pipe music to my hi fi. I cannot get the iPOD touch to establish a wi fi connection to the Mac though. When I turn airport on it says Home WLAN selected in the mac airport menu. I also have a wireless router but it is hard wired to my Mac from my cable internet modem. But when I turn on the wireless feature of the router the iPOD touch will imemdiately find it and it works great. I would like to keep the wireless router turned off (wireless part) and just connect wi fi style from my touch to my Mac Pro. When I look at network prefs for Airport it looks like it is configured. What did I miss in configuring here? Appreciate any help you can provide.

Thanks, How do I set the airport card for "ad hoc" mode? I have not seen this parm anywhere.
Also the iPOD touch has an app called "remote" which lets you manage iTunes from the iPOD touch device remotely while streaming music to the airport express box (and hi fi). I'm wondering how I would need to set up the Mac to do this. The Mac already connects to the Airport express card (instead of Home LAN) to stream iTunes music.
