The Oracle Network Manger tool is the best for creating all SQL*Net files (LISTENER.ORA, SQLNET.ORA and TNSNAMES.ORA).

I would trust this tool more than editing the TNSNAMES.ORA file manually, because I think there are some hidden tabs and spaces in these files. If you don't have them, it does not work.
