Error in tnsnames.ora

Question

Hi,
I have installed Oracle 10.2.0.1 and then created my listener and tnsnames using NETCA.I am getting the following error for tnsnames.ora.
Attempting to contact (DESCRIPTION = (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 192.168.1.102))(PORT = 1521)) (CONNECT_DATA = (SID = ora10g))
TNS-12533: TNS:illegal ADDRESS parameters
Listener does not give any error.I am including the tnsnames.ora and listener.ora files for your referral.I would appreciate if someone can help point out the error.

LISTENER10G =
(DESCRIPTION_LIST =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 192.168.1.102)(PORT = 1521))

SID_LIST_LISTENER10G =

ORA10G =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 192.168.1.102))(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SID = ora10g)
EXTPROC_CONNECTION_DATA =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = IPC)(KEY = EXTPROC0))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SID = PLSExtProc)
(PRESENTATION = RO)
where,ORA10G is my database name and LISTENER10G is the 10g listener name.
