You need to configure your firewall to permit IDLE to make the connection. 
Most firewall software when it warns you will give you the option of 
permitting this:

e.g. Windows Firewall says "To help protect your computer, Windows Firewall 
has blocked some features of this program. Do you want to keep blocking 
this program?" with options "Keep Blocking", "Unblock", and "Ask me later". 
All you have to do is click "Unblock" and IDLE will work.
