In my house I can connect my android device to the service in my laptop as they are both on the same network. My question is, supossing I'm going to a bar and I can connect my laptop to the wifi but not the cellphone, how can I make the cellphone reach the web service on the laptop? I tried to create an add hoc network and connectify.me but neither worked. With Connectify.me I was able to connect to the laptop from the phone but the phone could reach the web service (maybe a filter for the free version?) Any advice? I've already checked this: Connect an Android Device To a Web Service on Local Host and it's not the same as my problem. Thanks in advance! Guillermo.

I haven't tried Connectify, but Virtual Router worked for me. There are some more instructions here if you need it.

Most likely, you can't. The bar is unlikely to have given you a public IP address, and it unlikely that you will convince the bartender to allow you to modify their firewall to forward a port to your notebook.
