The default values are in includes/DefaultSettings.php.  Mine has an entry
reading:

  $wgShowIPinHeader       = true; # For non-logged in users

Check whether that entry is still there.  Then, if you have an entry for
$wgShowIPinHeader in LocalSettings.php, simply remove the one in
LocalSettings.php.
Not sure why your override in LocalSettings.php doesn't work.  Have you
verified that you don't have multiple entries?

Kind regards,

Herta
