Correction to my previous statement,
Remote tcp/ip connections on windows are not enabled by default, but
Magnus is right in that local connections are enabled by default. Sorry
for my mistatement.

This is not bourne out by my experience or the document you referenced.
The document and postgresql.conf both state that the default is
'localhost' and only allows local loopback connections.
For some reason the author of postgresql.conf did not follow the
convention of putting the commented default setting in the conf file
(e.g. listen_addresses='localhost' instead of '*', so I think this leads
a lot of people to think that TCP/IP is enabled by default.

TCP/IP is enabled by default on Windows. Your problem is somewhere else
- check for local firewall or antivirus sofware that might be blocking
the connection.
tcpip_sockets has been renamed to listen_addresses. Check
http://developer.postgresql.org/docs/postgres/runtime-config.html#RUNTIM
E-CONFIG-CONNECTION.
