problems opening IDLE

I'm having trouble with opening the IDLE and running programs. Every time I
try to open it, it says:
1. Socket error: Connection refused
2. IDLE's subprocess didn't make connection. Either IDLE can't start a
subprocess or personal firewall software is blocking the connection.

Point is, I allready entered python as an exception to my firewall and when
I disable it, the messages keep apearing. Can anyone help?

Call idle with the -n option

idle-python2.4 -n
idle.py -n
....
