Sure. Public access points are always open, even the ones where you have to pay - that part is taken care of by redirecting you to an https: page the first time you try to set your browser to some web page.

I was able to connect to multiple WEP secured WIFI networks (that I installed for some friends)
Good, then it works.

But open non secure networks don't seem to work for me... Am I doing something wrong?
Are you sure these are open, public networks? If they are merely without WEP or WPA protection, they could still have MAC filtering on. Try in some airport, hotel or Starbucks - you should at least get a valid IP address.
