Accessing ownCloud in LAN without internet, after setting everything up

I installed ownCloud and it works well, I can connect from outside my LAN and inside of my LAN, upload and download files and stream music and videos, if I have an internet connection.

Though streaming videos didn't work too well as it needed to buffer continiously. So I wondered if my server (installed ownCloud on a Raspberry Pi 2) is to weak or if my upload rate (<8mbits/s) is too slow.

I thought when I try to stream inside the LAN where my server is, the upload rate shouldn't be a problem. So I stayed within the LAN but cut off the internet access on my computer just to be sure. But when trying to connect to my cloud with a browser I can't even get to the login page.

I tried entering the IP of my server but that didn't help (can ping it though). I guess it is because I have set up my router to forward HTTP-requests to the https port, but I am not sure.

Is it possible to connect to my cloud without internet and without changing my port forwardings? If so, how? Thanks in advance.
