On my machines at home and at work, 127.0.0.1 and localhost is synonymous. My Sickbeard also uses "localhost" address, but I have no issue using 127.0.0.1 since it means the same thing as localhost (at least on my machine).
do a 'ping localhost' and see what IP address you get. That in theory is the numerical ip address you should be able to use. Are you getting 127.0.0.1 as well?
Stupid question - you're also setting port number correctly as well? (8181)? I would have put 127.0.0.1 in IP field, and 8181 in the port field. And does your Sickbeard require login?
