Because you have both the duel-home SBS Server and the DSL Router you have
effectively created a "Back-to-Back DMZ between the SBS and the Router. This
prevents it from working and is why you have to plug the Laptop into the
Router (the DMZ) to work.

If you don't have a specific reason to have the Back-toBack DMZ, I suggest
replacing the DSL Router with the SBS Server itself. The SBS Server would
"provide" the Internet connection to the other machines and would itself
connect to the Internet via a DSL Modem (not Router).

Then if SBS is sharing the Internet connection using RRAS/NAT your Laptop
would VPN fine from behind it. If your variation of SBS has ISA Server on
it, then the Laptop would have to function as a SecureNAT Client to ISA
before it would be able to generate its own VPN outgoing connection.

If you need to keep the DMZ, then you may just have to keep doing it the way
that you are.
