(In regards to server down) Usually, this problem is only temporary. If you wait a little while and try again, you should be able to access our website. If you are using a favorite place or bookmark to access our site, that may not be the cause of your trouble. You should always type in the address etrade.com to access our website. Please always make sure that you are spelling the name of the website correctly. It is also possible that your Internet service provider's servers are unable to locate the address for our server. Try using this address: 198.93.33.75 This should allow you to get to our website. If this does not help, please try going to this address instead: 204.5.38.117 You should get a window asking you about a certificate name check. Click continue and you should get a screen that is blank except with the words Main Menu underlined at the top left of the screen. Click on that and it should let you log on.
