RE: [Visualpython-users] IDLE and Win2000?

[David S. <dsc...@vy...>]

From previous bug reports, it sounds like this may happen when a Win2000
system has no TCP/IP networking components installed.  This normally
happens only if there is no network card and no modem in the machine.  

IDLE uses TCP/IP to communicate with itself, and isn't very good about
reporting useful error messages.  It should be possible to fix the
problem by installing TCP/IP, but I can't give you step-by-step
instructions.  Perhaps someone else can.

If this isn't the problem (i.e. you know the machine has Internet
access), please try to get a more detailed description of what is going
wrong.  Sometimes you can get this by running IDLE from a command prompt
(cmd):

c:\> c:\python21\python.exe c:\python21\tools\idle_vpython\idle.pyw

and seeing if there is any output in the command window.
