stream video from pc to phone and visa versa with no internet

[julesy]

Is there a way to wirelessly connect my android phone (SGS2) and my laptop without using any internet, in order to stream media in both directions?

For instance, is it possible to connect both devices by turning the android into a wireless hotspot and connecting the laptop to it via wifi? Bear in mind that there will be no internet connection in this set up.

I guess bluetooth would do this, but my laptop does not have bluetooth...

You can buy a bluetooth dongle for about $13. I have one for my laptop and it works great. Plug into USB port, may have to install drivers for it.

Solved - WiFi Direct

WiFi Direct gives you a device to device WiFi connection without the need for a) a wireless network and b) internet.
