C# IpcChannel Remote connection failed (when actually remoting)

I tried to implement the IpcChannel from this:

https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-US/library/system.runtime.remoting.channels.ipc.ipcchannel(v=vs.110).aspx

However, it does not matter which port is used in 

        IpcChannel serverChannel =
        new IpcChannel("127.0.0.1:9090");

tcpview does not show the port as "Listening".

The example does work with localhost, but with another computer as client, obviously not. (Because of the no-listening state of the port) I can enter any string into the IpcChannel() part. So even IpcChannel("blabla123") will "start" the server.

Is this intended or am I making a mistake here?

The answer is: Using HttpChannel or TcpChannel.

The documentation of the IPC example is ambiguous. The use of a hostname and port made me think this was also network capable.
