You CANNOT. repeat CANNOT just use a generic RJ45 jack with the touch.
The Touch uses an Ethernet jack which includes the Ethernet transformers
built in to the jack!!!  You have to find one which includes the same
transformer connections (there are several different possible ways the
transformers get hooked up) AND has the same pinout. This is not
something you are going to get at Radio Shack. IF you know the part
number and can find a spec sheet for it you MIGHT be able to find
something that is compatible. 

I just checked, the part is a Tech P65-P0Z-2AG9, I found one distributor
that has them in stock, but they have a $250 minimum order. In a quick
look I did not find a spec sheet, but you might want to try a more in
depth search than I have time for. If you can find a spec sheet you can
look at other jacks with built in magnetics and see if there are any
compatible ones. 

Your best bet is to find somebody that has a dead Touch for some other
reason that you can get cheap, and harvest the part off it.
