Alright I have tried following that guide a few times, but the connection indicator does not want to light up (the only thing relating to SmartDashboard() in my code is the import...SmartDashboard

.
I have verified that the the driver station is set to use the local dashboard. I have windows firewall disabled but I have not tried disabling my third party antivirus (I will when I get out to the lab), although it was not working when we tried using the FRC Classmate, and I don't believe there is any sort of anti-virus enabled on that computer (I use my personal laptop mostly during testing because it is faster).
Any other tips?
