2 connections on one port

Just wanted to check something, I have a web server set up on my network, it's listening on port 8080.... now, when I try to connect to this internally (ie: from one lan machine to the webserver) it works fine. When I connect externally (from a machine outside my network) it works fine. So everything is working, port forwarding and firewall traversal etc... However when I try to connect to the external address from internally it doesn't work. I'm assuming it's because you can't have an ingoing and an outgoing connection on the same port at the same time, hence my outgoing connection is 'blocking' the incoming one. Is that correct or am I missing something else?
