WiFi tethering has worked for me, in the past. I have also done it by setting up an "ad hoc" network, hosted by my Windows 7 laptop. However, now I only synchronise at home, at the end of each day. I have static IP addresses for laptop and phone on my home network, so I never have to resync and deal with resolving sync conflicts.
Just thought I'd post that option here, for completeness. Thank goodness that 99.99% of discussion threads on this forum are polite, even when someone is frustrated by a feature of MLO.
