   I think dingo is correct, trying to use your outside ip to loop back via port   
   forwarding will never work.  Your hosts file is your best bet.  Google your   
   version of Winodows and HOSTS to find out where it's stored (I don't use   
   Windows so I can't tell you where any of them are) then edit the hosts file to   
   add the fqdn and local ip of your machine and you should be good.
