Just because it is connected to the router does not mean that the router is granting it rights to the WAN side of the network.
Make sure your router gives it an IP address and that any MAC filtering allows the Touchs MAC address to be allowed access.
Also if you have any encryption on you network you will have to enable it on the Touch also, but as I do not use encryption I can't help with this sorry.

Thats all a little misleading, sorry.
The first thing you might want to take a look at is the admin page for your router. Try and see if your ipod is being given an IP. If it is, does it look similar to the IP's being assigned to other devices? Whilst the suggestion that MAC filtering may be preventing a connection, on most consumer routers you wont be allowed on to the network if you are filtering for specific MAC's.

Hi, yes it should have its own IP, unique on your network.
Your router should detect new devices and automatically assign them the next free IP in the address range that your router uses, for example mine uses 192.168.1.2 to 192.168.1.20
The easiest way to get it connected, just to see it it can, is to disable all security on your router and all MAC filtering if you have it turned on. Then reboot the router and then try and find networks on your Touch which should then pick it up.
Hope this helps, but I am drunk now so probably not.
