If you are at a public place always use "public". If you are at home and planing to share some information from your laptop locally use "home", if you are not planing to share anything use "public".

Wireless internet doen't come up on ipod even when i have the ask to join feature on what should i do?

I have an Ipod Touch my self and it is very easy to join a wireless network. First go to settings and choose the wi-fi option. On it you will see a option that allows you to turn wi-fi on and off. Once you make certain that it's on look under and you will notice it says choose a network. All you have to do now is pick a network without a lock(it is locked if it has a picture of a lock next to it) or choose a locked network that you know the password to. Personally, I recommend only using familiar networks or networks from public places like restaurants, airports, cafes,etc.

What is difference between wireless and wired LAN?

The wire, and the security which comes with the wire, or the security requirements that come from the absence of a wire: A wired network is considered a private network, in the sense that the network owner can generally grant or deny physical access to this network. For example, the wired network inside my house is only accessible to those people inside my house. However, a wireless network not only has no wire, it also implements a public or shared media. Subject to the reach of the access points and routers, my wireless LAN may be accessible from outside my house, and the owner of a wireless network has no immediate means to grant or deny controlled access to this network. To solve this problem, wireless networks use sophisticated authentication and encryption methods to ensure that only authorized users can access a given network, and that nobody else can decipher messages sent on that network. An early form of this security protocol is WEP, short for wire-equivalent privacy (although it was later discovered that WEP wasn't very sophisticated to begin with, and is now superseded by more powerful alternatives). The overhead for authentication and encryption does not exist on a wired network, and impairments that impact the operation on a public media (such as radio-frequency interference. While a wired network might come at the cost of wire installation, it is in principal more secure and faster than a wireless network.
