My default Windows Vista x64 installation is not blocking my IDLE at all, so
it might be you're not using the standard Windows firewall but perhaps some
third-party one.

Most of the time in the firewall configuration windows you can add specific
executables to be allowed access. As such you probably have to point it to
the C:\Python25\Python.exe file, but that's just a guess.
