Oh no they've announced that they're going out of business and have been bought out by CEO Shawn J White!

Relax, INGDirect.com is FDIC insured just like Chase Manhattan, CitiBank, Bank of America, etc. they're also owned by one of the largest financial institutions in Europe.

ok, well, I have no problems whatsoever accessing other websites, but for some reason I can't ping ingdirect.com (unresolved). Strange. Can someone ping it and give me the IP?

Where do you see that? This is taken directly from the FDIC link I posted above:

Are deposits at ING DIRECT insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC)?
Yes, deposits at ING DIRECT, the operating name of ING Bank, fsb, are insured through ING Bank, fsb's FDIC membership up to $100,000 per depositor. ING DIRECT's FDIC certificate number is 35489. You can learn more about the FDIC at their website, www.fdic.gov. We are registered with the FDIC under the name ING Bank, fsb, located in Wilmington, DE.

Hmm.. it still won't resolve for me, and I can't get through even if i go straight to that IP posted above. Is there anything else I can try? Do you think this is a problem with my computer or with my connection provider?
