When you try to connect to an internal server, from another internal system, via the external address, the server sees the packet originating from the internal systems IP address and responds directly to that address. The internal system, however, was talking to the external address as far as it knew and has no idea why this internal server is responding. You need to do source and destination NAT to get this to work.
