If you have a laptop and you go to one of these places, restaurants, etc. can you connect via those wireless network facilities without having to do any setup/configuration changes to make it work ?

Is it as simple as just clicking on a wireless network connection that the O/S finds ?

Thanks.
 
Generally yes.

Just make sure you don't do anything sensitive or send any cookies over that connection (like this forum). No e-mail, no shopping, no banking, etc.
 
Your TCP/IP has to be set to Auto Obtain IP.

Wireless Encryption has to be Off.

File Sharing has to be Off too, unless you want to share your HD content with all the other people that are using the free connection.😛
