is the ipod touch the intruder?
mcafee total security tells me it has detected intruders, and it was when i turned on my ipod and connected it to WiFi, but it comes up with two IPs under the network map both with 2 numbers of each other they are:
192.168.1.66 & 192.168.1.64
what are they? my ipod touch?
one of them has the same IP adress as me and my router begins with the same numbers
and all the other ones marked as "friends" begin with the same numbers, the only thing which is different is the bit after .1 (one is .254 and one is .256)

You can't have 256 as a number. As soon as it reaches 256 it flips back to 0 and adds a 1 to the next group. Not trying to be picky; just that either you have a typo or something is very confused about your system.
Your router should begin with the same numbers as you - that's essential when you are creating a local network which is what you have there. The number system for your network is 192.168.1.x where x represents a number between 1 and 254. (It's not usual to use 0 and there might be a good reason for that - I think it's the "broadcast" address. I'm also fairly sure that 255 isn't normally used but can't remember why.)
If they are set up to talk to each other, you can find out what number belongs to what by opening a command window and "pinging" the numbers and reading the response:
Press and hold the Windows key and then press R and then release both.
Type cmd into the text box and then press OK.
In the black window (command prompt window) type this and then press Enter on your keyboard:
ping -a 192.168.1.64
That will get it to give you a name of the machine that is number .64; do the same for the other number. (Press the up arrow to bring back the previous command and you can just backspace and change it to .66 and press Enter.)
