Default is 'localhost'. This is TCP/IP. Which is different from Unix
sockets. Since Unix sockets aren't available on Windows, you need TCP/IP
to be able to connect at all.
That said, I think I may have misread the original question as actually
wanting "remote TCP/IP" connections. The comment about the clients IP
certainly implies so. In which case my answer was clearly wrong! Sorry
to mislead you :-)
