They still have domain names under the Firstar Brand?

US Bank bought Firstar in the late '90s or early 2000's. I know this because Firstar became US Bank when I still lived in Iowa and I moved to Massachusetts in 2002.

Banks were being bought out like crazy back then. Commercial Federal Bought out Perpetual Savings Bank and they are now Bank of the West. Bank of America bought out Fleet. My current bank, Berkshire Bank was Woronoco Savings Bank before being bought out by Berkshire Bank.

I bet many of these banks still have servers using the domain names of their former names.

When I had AT&T for cell phone, they had many of their apps under the domains of mycingular even though their name changed to AT&T.

It would appear that US Bank has indeed preserved many (if not all) of their predecessors' domain names.

I remember the buyout because I lost a third party maintenance contract after the US Bank purchase of Firstar. I used to maintain routers and other communication devices for Star Bank and Firstar in this area for a VAR who supplied the equipment.

I only recently installed the Mark Russinovich whois utility on my Windows boxes. So much for trusting Microsoft's port of a *nix utility. I guess I need to go back to using the GeekTools application instead.

Working fine here, BUT I have had problems with that site before.
Also try direct to the secure site (HTTPS) as sometimes the http redirector (your link) fails.
BTW pingplotter resolves 170.135.216.181 as bnkuse.com which links to some suspious results when googled.

I tried (and posted) both the http and the https links. Also, suspicious or not, 170.135.216.181 is the IP address in the A record for www.usbank.com no matter whose DNS server I try.

Doing a DNS lookup for the IP address 170.135.216.181 shows a large number of PTR records pointing to what appear to be US Bank owned or affiliated sites. That many PTR records is unusual, but not necessarily suspicious.

About an hour ago it started working again from my Comcast connection here.

It had been unavailable over my Comcast connection since ~08:00, but it worked just fine over either my AT&T 3G or AT&T DSL connection. My guess is that it was a temporary routing table or ACL issue somewhere in the path.

IowaCowboy posted : My mother still has her account at Bank of The West from when we were living in Iowa but it is impossible to reach it on her computer connected to Comcast. If she does it on one of my MacBooks, she gets in. It sounds more like an issue with your computer. Try a different computer on the same connection and if you get in, it's the computer but if you don't get in, it's Comcast. I always try either a different computer on the same connection or a different connection (a MiFi/mobile hotspot) on the same computer before calling for ISP support. I have had Comcast CSRs play the blame customer owned equipment game when I tried the above mentioned troubleshooting and it was clearly a Comcast issue.

ajeff posted : Check the time and date set on your computer. Following from MS Supprt:

I can’t access my bank or other secure websites.
Try this

When you connect to a secure website, Internet Explorer uses an encrypted channel that uses Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) technology to encrypt transactions. Corrupted information in the SSL can cause websites not to load correctly. Clearing the SLL state may resolve this issue. To do this, follow these steps:

Click Start, type Internet Explorer in the search box, and then, in the list of results, click Internet Explorer.
In Internet Explorer, click Tools, and then click Internet Options.
Click the Content tab, and then click Clear SSL state.

If clearing the SSL state did not resolve the issue, the date and time settings on your PC might be incorrect. Some secure sites require that the date and time on your PC match the date and time of the website. To check the date and time, follow these steps:

In Control Panel, open Date and Time. To do this, click Start
, type date and time in the Start Search box, and then click Date and Time in the Programs list.
Click Change date and time.
In the Date and Time Settings dialog box, set the date and time to the correct values.
Click OK two times.

If you still can’t access secure websites, get help from the Microsoft Communityonline community.

Anyone else having problems reaching the US Bank website on a Comcast connection today?

We need to witness our own limits transgressed, and some life pasturing freely where we never wander.
