Cannot connect from SmartDashboard()

[Thundrio]

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?

The SmartDashboard will not be able to connect to the robot unless the robot attempts to connect to the SmartDashboard.

put a simple SmartDashboard.putInt("test", 4); on the robot and see if that starts the connection.
