Images not showing on website when accessed by IP Address

I have an internal web site hosted on a Windows server (2012 R2). When I access the site by the name "vhac" I can see all images on a certain page. However, if I go to the same page in the site using the IP address (10.10.10.10) one of the images doesn't show up.

The site is under the Default Web Site in IIS. The image is in a directory on the server that is mapped as a virtual directory for the default web site. The only binding that is setup is http, no host name, port 80, All unassigned IP addresses, which I believe is just the default.

The URL of the image is \\10.10.10.10\MIL\image.jpg

Edit: this is all on IE11

TIA

So figured out that using the IP Address in the URL is treated as an Internet site in IE, while the named loads as intranet. From there saw that there were different security settings. I added the IP address to the trusted sites and now everything works. Hope this dumb mistake helps somebody else out.

The best way to debug this, since you're using IE. Is go into the Developer Tools (F12) --> Go to the network tab --> Press the green start arrow (if it's not started) then reload the page and see what errors are being tossed for the images.

Once you know what the HTTP error codes are, it will be much easier to troubleshoot.

Images not showing on website when accessed by IP Address:

1.) Check User Access credentials.
2.) Check user permission Folder Properties=>security.
3.) Check user account accessed to mapped image server.

Hope it helps
