CDF player internet access config

Question

Where is the internet access configuration of the CDF Player?

On Mathematica, if I tell it to use the same config as the system, it doesn't work. If I write my-self this same config, it works.

I want to do the same on the CDF Player (it says it can't find the internet). Where's the "preferences"?

Thank you,

The problem might be that CDF player is a crippled version of Mathematica, with limited possibilities to access online data. Computable data that you get from Wolfram's servers with, for instance, WeatherData seems to be accessible, but importing websites as html using Import isn't possible. You might need Player Pro for this.
