Using VPN on ipod touch and trying to connect to my computer wirelessly

OK HI everyone I'm new to this forum thing here in apple this is my first thread so please don't flame me.
(It happens allot on other forums, not to me but to other newbies)

anyway focusing on the task at hand

so im trying to find a way to connect to the internet on my ipod NOT using a wifi connection, I noticed under GENERAL settings when you go under NETWORK there is WI-FI or VPN and im trying to see what's all that about

and i also have usb broadband modem and I found some Server IPV address or something like that under my modem Status so I'm trying to see if i can somehow work with any of these things to connect to the internet on my ipod

BTW i have an ipod 3rd Gen and a Cricket Modem and Windows Vista OS

PC, Windows Vista, Home Premium

Sorry, but the only way that you can connect your iPod to the internet is via WiFi. To use VPN, you must be connected, again via WiFi, to the internet. VPN (used mostly by businesses) allows you a super secure way to access internal networks via a public network (the web).

You must have a wireless router to connect to allow WiFi. An ordinary router isn't going to be able to do it. See this article: http://computer.howstuffworks.com/wireless-network.htm for some basics on wireless networking.
