IP address change for our company webpage has changed- it can be accessed externally with no problem - not able to access internally
Our external webpage has changed ip addresses as we have created a new webpage. The webpage can be accessed externally with no problems. Can not be accessed internal regardless of browser. Initially it was bringing up our old webpage. I found the reference for the old ip address in the DNS settings on the DNS servers- I changed the ip address to point to the new ip address and thinking we were all good I did the ipconfig /flushdns on the client and dsncmd /clearcache on the servers and still no dice. pinging the url resolves to the correct ip address from inside our network.
I checked the firewall to see if there were any setting referencing the old ip address and there was not.
What am I missing?

If you visit the website with www.yourdomainname does it work compared to just yourdomain.com?

externally if I type tdfarrell.com or https://www.tdfarrell.com it comes up either way. I can ping www.tdfarrell.com internally or externally and it resolves to the new ip address
what if you ping tdfarrell.com internally?

it resolves to the primary dns server
Can you look on your DNS server to see if IIS is running with a HTTP redirect running? I think your problem here is your website from the outside redirects to tdfarrell.com when you visit www.tdfarrell.com This conflicts with your internal active directory domain name.

no iis running on the domain controller/dns server- and why would a change in ip address cause that problem to start- if everything is the same but the new ip address? I inherited this setup as I always setup internal network as a .local so you don't have these conflicts but still if you have the DNS entries pointing the www to the correct ip address normally the solves that issue. The site used to be http and now its https- would that be what is causing the difference?

changing my internal domain name is a pretty big undertaking in order to accommodate the new webpage folks so that's not happening. But I am trying to follow the test you sent me to see where the redirect is happening- I want to be able to communicate this to the webpage folks.

Dr Dave, thanks for pointing out the cert alternate name. A few hours after I posted it, I was actually thinking about the fact I did not get a security warning when it redirected from https://www.tdfarrell.com. And thumbs up on the mixed content error. That need to be fixed too!
