Alternative Access Mapping not working "You're not connected to a network"

Question

Hi *,
i want to set up alternate access mapping in my sharepoint 2013 development environment.
My SharePoint is reachable through http://sp2013.
I created a second web application with listens on port 8080. When i open http://sp2013:8080 everything works fine and i can see my root site collection.
Next i added through "Add internal Urls" a new url -> http://sp2013test to the default zone.
Next i edited the bindings in the iss application for this web application and added http://sp2013test listening to port 80:
But i does not work! I get the message "You’re not connected to a network" from the ie.
I dont want have to call my WebApps through ports. I want to have WebApplication which i can call through clear names like http://customerWebApp1, http://customer2WebApp. All via Port 80.
Whats wrong here?
Best Regards

Hi Bob,
For you issue, try to map web application URLs to the local loopback address. For that you need to update host file at the path:(C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts) 
Here is a link about Setup Multiple SharePoint Web Applications on Port 80 with Https Binding on Port 443, you can use as a reference:
