I solved my own problem. I installed WordPress MU Domain Mapping plugin, set the mapping my to home ip, 127.0.0.1, then added my site to domains with the domain name I wanted. The domain name in domains must match the site domain. Once all of that was done, I made sure the domain was also mapped in my hosts file.
I hope this helps anyone else that runs into this issue.
