Sqlplus hanging when connecting by specifying user/pwd

Question

Hi All,
Oracle 11G R2 on WIndows 2008 R2
I have cloned a server, serverA, and created a new server, lets say serverB. Two things i changed for this serverB:
1) edited tnsnames entry so that the alias TST now points to this new serverB hostname (previously it was pointing to serverA)
2) deleted and recreated the listener
Now when i try to connect to my instance using sqlplus and the username/pwd, it hangs here:
D:\ORACLE\DATABASE\ORA11G\database>sqlplus sys/blahblhablhar@tst as sysdba
SQL*Plus: Release 11.2.0.3.0 Production on Tue May 7 15:18:36 2013
Copyright (c) 1982, 2011, Oracle.  All rights reserved.If i try to connect using
D:\ORACLE\DATABASE\ORA11G\database>sqlplus / as sysdba - IT WORKS.
I tried to recreate my pwd file using orapwd and no luck.
Any ideas as to why i cannot connect using the first method? Also, when i try to connect to this instance using SQL developer from my laptop, it also hangs when i do the 'Test' button..??
Thanks in advance.
