On my Vista machine I reply to a firewall popup the first time I run IDLE and tell it to allow IDLE to open a port. The next time I run IDLE, all is OK. I still have the problem that sometimes IDLE does not properly cleanup hung processes, which means IDLE will not restart. Dick Johnson -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
