Thank you for this @steve-jones-ssc-editor.

That's strange.
Ideally, if it is the default instance, I'd suggest you connect to it using the hostname only (from both SSMS and SQLCMD).

Can you please run the following query and share a screenprint?
SELECT SERVERPROPERTY('InstanceName')
If it returns NULL, then it is the Default Instance otherwise it will return the instance name.

Hello,
I think you have to use the following format to connect to the named SQL instance inside your VM.
HOSTNAME\INSTANCENAME. (Hostname = VM PC Name)
I hope this helps.
