Solution 1:

You should try Connectify Me...install it in you laptop, and it will make its wifi receiver to work as wifi broadcaster...than you can connect your android deivce to this broadcasted network just as you normally do with other wifi networks.

And then hopefully you will be able to access you server hosted on laptop from you android device...
