Why can't I connect to my own IP address?

Hi, I have a server running at my office, and it hosts stuff anyone can connect to.

But the problem is, I can't access the domain name or IP address from the same internet connection. Only outside that connection can I.

Why is this? Any way to fix it?

Thanks.

Update:

P.S. no firewall/password errors, I know that.
