When running the SmartDashboard, press view/add.../connection indicator,

It will be red if you have no connection and green if you do.

If it is actually red, then make sure you are on the same network as the robot and that your team number is set correctly (that can be changed by going to file/preferences and changing the team number).

Also, make sure that you have some reference to the SmartDashboard on your robot. If the robot doesn't try to use the SmartDashboard, then the SmartDashboard will not connect to the robot.
