Hey again,
Since I travel alot around Vancouver, and along the way there are literaly 100's of unsecured networks.
Is there any way that I can "jump" or "hop" from one network to another?
Need an answer pretty soon. , Thanks!

Open Network and Sharing Center, Click View Status of Connection, then select
Wireless Properties. Select "Connect Automatically when this network is in
range". That should sort it out! -
Networks still have to accept your MAC address and hand out DHCP. The secured portion of a wireless network generally refers to the radio link encryption. There are other things a user can do to secure their network.
As far as romaing around and not losing connections (maintaining straming and/or downloads), no, 802.11xxx isn't designed to do this. -
Uh, I could be wrong, as I'm not familiar with the relevant law and whatnot, but unless you have permission from the network's owner to connect, it may be illegal, and it is certainly unethical, to hook onto someone else's network without their permission and leech off of them, even if it is unsecured.

Thread closed. As mentioned, just because they are unsecured it doesn't mean you have permission to use those resources. Even if that countries laws say that it is permissible, NBR does not allow discussion of that nature(see forum rules).
