This is really strange, I have another wiki that shows the IP address of unlogged in viewers but it has no $wShowIPinHeader entry in LocalSettings.php.
That's correct, showing them is the default.
There is also no entry in the new wiki I am trying to setup.
Entering $wgShowIPinHeader = true; has no effect, the IP is still not shown.
That's strange. Check no-one's been fiddling with DefaultSettings.php as Herta suggests. If that doesn't work, check it's not being hidden by the skin (by a line in [[Mediawiki:Monobook.css]] or something - I'm not good with skins).
This is probable not important, I just do not like 0.0.0.0 appearing and the same is referenced for the confirmation email with new signups.
What happens when anon users edit? Do all the contributions end up on [[Special:Contributions/0.0.0.0]] rather than under their actual IP address? If so, it sounds like a much bigger underlying problem with your server (which someone else will have to help you with - far beyond my skillset).
