Can you disable iTunes Wi-Fi Sync?

I need to have my iPod connected to the wi-fi network in my workplace, but our developer's have told me that having an Apple device with Wi-Fi sync enabled connected to the network causes problems with their tools. I have tried unchecking the box in iTunes, but my iPod still shows that it will automatically sync with my computer. I even went to far as to reset my device entirely just to clear the enablement, but it became re-enabled when connected to iTunes again even with the check box NOT checked! I need to use iTunes for work as well, so simply not connecting my iPod to it is not an option.
