Set your browser to only dial a connection when a network connection is not present. (in IE its under Internet Options, Connection).

You do not need Internet access to connect to the local webserver.

Can you browse from a web browser on the webserver itself? Just to make sure that web services is running...

On any station within your LAN, in the browser's URL address area you should be able to just put in the servername without the \\.

Or try typing the whole thing i.e. http://servername.

Or just put in the IP address instead of the NetBIOS name and see if it will work.
