I use the same format to get to my router, and I got the (two) DNS entries. I use the same format to get to FT, and it works.
Not sure what's going on here. I should be able to get through when I give it the actual IP address.
Not if their website is down, which seems to be the case based on Letitride's post. A ping command simply checks to see if a device is alive and responding at a particular IP address. A ping response does NOT mean that there's an active website at the other end, it simply means that there's an active "device" at the other end.

What's not working is their website, and the've told you as such by saying "it's not you, it's us"
There's no reason to call the help desk, and there's nothing further you can do except wait for them to fix their website.
