It is the firewall....and it is supposed to be that way...

Your internal machines should never have to out to the internet to come back in, what you need to do is set up the lmhosts files on your local computers with the web address and internal ip number you want to link it to.

Or, if you are using DHCP you may set up an entry to tell it that www.yoursite.com is actually 10.0.0.2 instad of 44.55.66.77(external address)

It is a security feature of the firewall.
