For the host address, I used the server address used in the GRIP settings, roborio-5102-frc.local. Is that the address that I'm supposed to use? or is there something I need to change in the GRIP settings? (I'm running GRIP on the driver station laptop)
The robot is always the server. The "server" mode of OutlineViewer is only for testing purposes when you don't have robot code running, otherwise you should use the client mode.

Things to check:
- Do you have robot code running? (e.g. the Driver Station is not showing "no robot code")
- Can you ping roborio-5102-frc.local from the command line?
- Do you see a CONNECTED message in the console / riolog from your robot code?
- Is GRIP reporting any NetworkTable errors in its console window?
- Try running OutlineViewer.jar from the command prompt (it's in C:\Users\<user>\wpilib\tools). This will provide a place where error messages are reported.
