If the server and client are on the same machine, put localhost into the ip box. If they're not on the same machine but just on the same network, you probably need to check a checkbox on the network tab that says "Server LAN Hairpinning" or something like that.
Also the OMP server has moved to here: omp.servegame.com due to DNS issues, and nowadays clients don't normally need port forwarding. That website has a load of info to help you, but some of it seems to be out of date. If you run into any more problems, don't hesitate to ask for help.

What do you mean with this? That it is still "popular", that there are people on Ren's hosting, or that it is still developed?

What happens in the steps of the "Single Client Test Session" and "Multi Client LAN Test Session" checklists from the documentation in "/Doc/OMP/OMP.pdf" on page 19 and 20, respectively?

Particularly the part about %adding additional vessels to the scenario is not necessary anymore. The appropriate commands got removed from the client.
