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. -- Terry Jan Reedy
