Perhaps one of the greatest mystery about the HP Mini 1000 is the Ethernet port. I’m surprised that many people bought the HP Mini 1000 without knowing that it actually has an Ethernet port. I’m not joking, there is really a ethernet port on the HP Mini 1000. You just need to find it.
And so, the answer to the great question, of life, the universe and the location of HP Mini 1000’s Ethernet port is……
Next to the headphone/mic jack. Brilliantly covered by a rubber to hide it when not in use. Don’t laugh. Quite a number of people don’t know that there is a Ethernet port on the HP Mini. Serious. No joke.
That’s the problem when HP hides the Ethernet port so that the HP Mini 1000 will look beautiful.

Thank you!!
I was one of those who did not know and just ran across this post when I was trying to figure out how to install drivers on the usb/ethrnet adapter I just bought. Guess I get to return it!!

Laura: I think HP also discovered that quite a number of their customers didn’t know there is a Ethernet port on the HP Mini 1000. The ethernet port on the new HP mini 110 is a lot more obvious now.
