Yes, that is indeed the root cause of your problem. And the root cause of your root cause may be one or a combination of -
  • Your phone blocking the access (please paste your /etc/hosts)
  • A certificate problem (sorry, don't know how to debug those off the top of my head, will have to look it up)
  • Something along the way causing connection issue (have you tried different connections? 3G, WiFi, different networks...?)

As my N900 isn't connecting to tmo I'm typing all this stuff in, so thanks for your patience
Gasp!
You are not supposed to do that! There are MUCH better ways. Connect to your phone from your PC via SSH and copy'n'paste from the screen, redirect the output to a text file and paste the file...
