TNS Protocol Error from SQLPlus within local server

With a new Oracle 817 server install, when connecting using SQLPlus on the local machine, leaving the Host String as blank, I get a TNS Protocol error. However, looking at the tnsnames.ora file, used the SID name on the Host String, I was able to connect. I suspect that since I did a custom install of the Enterprise Edition, I forgot to install a component that a loopback connection would require.
