Here's some general connection troubleshooting information on this problem: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1852

There is also something that you can check pretty quick - Apple Mobile Device Services. This has to be installed and running for the iPod to talk with iTunes. This article will help with that: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1567

Since the iPod does not appear to be charging, do other USB devices work on your laptop?
