Yes, that is the kicker right there. A network connected to the internet uses ONE IP address. This address is provided by the ISP. Each comp on the network, however, has a seperate address provided by the router. In order for the client to avoid using internet bandwith, it must connect to the internal address provided by the router.
(the static address of the server)
