It may be technically possible but it doesn't make sense (at least I think so- bear with me for a while)
HDMI 1.4 carries 100mbps Ethernet signal over a HDMI cable (which is a new type of cable- so using an old one won't cut it).
It's meant to give you ability to connect your TV to internet in such a way that a Bluray player/HD decoder or whatever is connected to a router via a normal Ethernet port and then this Bluray player/HD decoder is connected to a TV via HDMI cable that carries not only audio and video but also enable TV to access the Internet.
The reason why it doesn't seem to make sense for a laptop (at least in my opinion) is that you need a in-between device like a HD decoder that has a Ethernet ("in" port) and HDMI 1.4 port ("out" port) . If you connect your laptop to a device like that it should work but it seems rather inconvenient especially if you have a Gigabit Ethernet port in your notebook. -

Am asking only because new macbook pro retina doesnt have LAN port so .. and there is HDMI 1.4 .. so it might be connected over it .. But I believe it is NOT supported -
A USB to Ethernet adapter is the answer to your problems

you say usb to LAN .. does retina mac has ethernet controller?
EDIT : just found answer .. It is not usb but t-bolt its faster.
But now I realized what was purpose of thread.. that internet over HDMI is useless ! nobody is using it ..

You would need an HDMI in to do this anyway, not out.
