If I remember correctly git doesn't (yet?) implements multiple-URL fetch URIs, where first URL that works is used.
If I understand correctly you want to connect (fetch from) your desktop machine from your laptop. And this laptop is either connected to local network (local IP), or to Internet (DNS address). The simplest way would be to create two 'remotes', e.g. dektop-local and desktop, or desktop and desktop-dns, which differn only in URL used.
In this case url.<base>.insteadOf config variable (new feature) wouln't help, I think....
