How can I access my localhost through Android phone?

Question

I want to connect my Android phone to XAMPP server of my pc to run my app on phone's browser (app is working fine with pc's browser).

I am using broadband connection. The only solution which I've got until date is through using wifi connection.

But, I am restricted to use LAN connection. How can I connect it without using a router?
