I had a similar problem with some of the early versions of 2.4 (beta, release candidate), and it seems to me, looking back, that some of the other programs I had running simultaneously blocked the sockets or something . . . In any case, I usually made sure I wasn't running any other programs when *opening* IDLE, and, if that didn't help, I restarted the computer. However, even when the IDLE shell didn't work properly, the "Edit with IDLE" functioned operated smoothly, so I can't say for sure that it will help. Have you tried emailing the idle-dev mailing list?
