As root, on device;

Code:
wget -O ~/hosts http://www.mvps.org/winhelp2002/hosts.txt && echo "127.0.0.1 rm696 localhost" > /etc/hosts && tr -d '\015' < ~/hosts >> /etc/hosts
***big fat warning. I do not actually have an N9 so I do not know if this will actuall work...it should, it works on an n900.
***this will wipe your hosts file, so if you have put anything custom in there, you will have to re-ad it.
