MacBook connected on university network through Ethernet with the following settings.

Configure IPv4: Using DHCP
IP Address: 172.17.15.146
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Router: 172.17.15.254
DNS Server: 172.24.2.71


Shared my Ethernet connection over WiFi for my android phone.

IP address: 192.168.2.2
IP settings: Using DHCP


Googling MyIP through both devices give the following.

Your public IP address: 202.78.172.162

Local sites like library/ and news/ only accessible over 1st device. Is there a way to access these sites on the 2nd?

A proxy server on your MacBook will probably let you do what you want. It's a little more involved than file sharing, but things like http://squidman.net/squidman/ can make it a little easier.

After setting up the proxy server, you'll want to set your Android up to use it. You'll want to use the local NAT address of your MacBook (likely 192.168.2.1).
