Fast/direct sync between phone and computer

Hi. I'm currently hospitalized with my son for a while and while I've got public WiFi, it's arp isolated so my android and laptop won't find each other on Lan, (even if it wasn't Im still throttled at 2 Mbit or so) that got me thinking about whether it's possible to sync sorta adhoc between my two devices. I tried to tether Internet from my phone and connected my laptop but the traffic went through the trackers. I didn't try to force local though. Not entirely sure how Android behaves while sharing Internet but since I can share my 3g to a chromecast here and then cast to it through the phone, Im sure that the Android tethering Internet can also access the Lan segment. Ive got root but I'm just too tired to lurk around with adb shell and check routes and iptables. Have anyone done sync on an adhoc connection. I'll rather not share Internet from my Windows laptop since I need the phone's 3g for chromecast entertainment here
