I checked ...Oracle\product\11.2.0\dbhome_1\NETWORK\ADMIN\tnsnames.ora and it turns out I had installed my service to use the fully qualified name (orcl.ibm.com)

I changed //localhost:1521/orcl  to //localhost:1521/orcl.ibm.com and was able to connect.

here is what the tnsnames.ora file has in it:
ORCL =
  (DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = localhost)(PORT = 1521))
    (CONNECT_DATA =
      (SERVER = DEDICATED)
      (SERVICE_NAME = orcl.ibm.com)
    )
  )
