Setting up Local UPnP Network?

I am currently connected to university internet. I have Spotify as well as an iPod Touch (5th gen) and am looking to sync my local files to my device. As specified, I connect both to the university wifi and open the Spotify app on both. However, my device is not being recognized. I believe this is because the school wifi has UPnP disabled and thus my computer is unable to discover my iPod for syncing. I am hoping that I can circumnavigate this by somehow creating some sort of local, ad-hoc network on my computer with UPnP enabled that I can then privately connect to with my iPod Touch. Any links or instructions as to how to do this would be very much appreciated.
