If SBS is running on the laptop, then yes, you can plug the Touch directly into the laptop. You WILL have to set a static IP address on the Touch and the laptop (on the same subnet of course), unless the laptop is setup as a DHCP server (which is extremely rare). If the Touch tries to connect to a network without a DHCP server (direct to the laptop) it will pup up a box for setting the IP address manually.
You will need to set the IP address on the laptop as well, using whatever method its OS uses for setting the ethernet port's IP address. (for example you can set the laptop to 192.168.4.20 and the Touch to 192.168.4.25) (just randomly chosen numbers in the 192.168 space) DO NOT make them the same! That should be it!
