windows 7 firewall blocking python idle 2.6

[KatSuda]

Can anyone tell me how to make the Windows 7 firewall allow my python 2.6 idle program to open?  I have added exceptions in the control panel for it, and it worked once after that.  Now it is giving me the error messages again (see attachment).

Thanks for any help.

I seem to get this error when I kill a script while it's running.  If you use task manager/processes to kill all python processes, it should go away.

Thanks, Bruce!  That was the solution.
