Wireless Internet Access

The topic has been mentioned a number of times recently, ie wireless connecting to the internet at locations such as stations and airports. I recently visited my Son and tried to connect to his network and thus the Net. Without success. We could do it with the WEP protocol disabled, but couldn't get the Net connection encrypted.

I confess to limited knowledge of this technology. Do I need any special hardware or software? Does such a connection have to be made WEP disabled? Would appreciate a simple explanation...
