I think the problem not your server, but your browser finding your hostname through internet connection, try add hostname to exception list proxy setting.
When you type your hostname at address bar, browser will find it in local area connection

Hello,
Select your website in IIS and click Bindings...
Then go to Edit Site Binding and specify a Host name.
