First, turn on SQL Net tracing in the sqlnet.ora file. Second, was the database link created on the server where the database resides, or via the client? What version of Oracle are you using? Also when you use the service name to connect, is it from a client ? The database link from one database to another means that the parts necessary for name resolution will need to be on the server where the database link resides. This means that the hosts file needs to have the server name and IP address of the target database server in it, or the server is using some other name resolution like DNS. The database link needs to be resolved from the server where the database link resides in the database. Sure you can connect from a client.

In other words, no reason can be seen why it wouldn't work? We changed the global name, etc., etc. I can connect to the database but when I create the link, then try to select from dual from another database, it says "TNSNames cannot resolve service name". But using the same service name, I immediately connect successfully to the database! Driving us crazy. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
