Initiating an HTTP session from a windows service using CHttpConnection

Hi,

I am running a process that uses CHttpConnection to connect to the
internet. When used regularly it works fine. When the process is run as
a windows service it does not work: sendRequest() fails with timeout. I
am behind a proxy and a firewall. I am running the service under "local
system account". A different application on the same machine connects
fine to the internet using a "w3client" API (under local system
account). I use Connection.SetOption(
INTERNET_OPTION_PROXY,"proxyname:proxyport)
Any idea why the session would not connect specifically from a service?

Thank you.
