I 'm looking for a clean way to communicate between an Android/iOS phone and a Windows 7 laptop. No need for internet connection, just a way for a TCP connection between the phone and the laptop.

I have enabled the hosted network, but there is no connectivity. The laptop has 192.168.173.1 and the phone 192.168.173.3 but ping fails and connections between the two devices fail.

Goto Control Panel\Network and Internet\Network and Sharing Center\Advanced sharing settings Turn on the requested items and specially check Enable file sharing for devices that use 40- or 56- bit encryption
