How to disable internet access from itouch

I just purchased a new ipod touch for my young son and don't want him to be able to access the internet. Where do I go to disable it when it is connected to the computer? And if I disable his, will MY ipod still be able to access the internet?

Windows 2000

Turn off his Wi-Fi under Settings. If you are managing your network properly, he won't be able to log onto your network without password. As long as your own iPod has the proper settings, you will be unaffected.

If you have the program network magic you can disable it by right clicking on the icon in the menu. There also may be a passcode on the actual iPod itself.

A simpler way is also available through the restrictions menu in the General settings of the iPod Touch. You can deactivate Safari there and it cannot be reactivated without your passcode. That way, he might be able to enjoy using the App Store and iTunes Store and anything else requiring access without being able to randomly browse the web.
