Error connecting to HXE via

I am following the creating ABAP tutorial:

https://www.sap.com/developer/tutorials/abap-create-project.html

But when I try to log in this is displayed:

"Logon to system HXE failed (partner 'hxehost:3390' not reached)"

I am using Hana express in a VM locally. I can connect to XS and XSA through chrome but if I "telnet hxehost 3390" it will say "connection refused".

My hosts file in the VM is as follows:

127.0.0.1       localhost.localdomain.com localhost

::1             localhost ipv6-localhost ipv6-loopback

fe00::0         ipv6-localnet

ff00::0         ipv6-mcastprefix

ff02::1         ipv6-allnodes

ff02::2         ipv6-allrouters

ff02::3         ipv6-allhosts

192.168.0.231   hxehost hxehost.localdomain.com

Does anybody know why is the service not started?

Thanks in advance!
