Don't shout with ALL CAPS in the subject line.  It usually indicates 
spam.  I already know that this problem is very frustrating.

Firewalls are seldom the problems anymore.  I occasionally saw this on 
Win 7 when restarting, but never on startup, and never more than once or 
twice in a session.

What's left is misconfiguration of your network interface that prevents 
a loopback connection.  There might be answers on Stackoverflow that 
would help, depending on your OS.

In the meanwhile, you can start IDLE with the -n option.  Either use a 
command line or create an 'IDLE -n' icon.  Again, details depend on 
exact OS.
