Database Link

I am trying to access an 8.0 database from a 9.2 database.  I can do
this via sql*plus, but no luck when using a database link.  I have an
8.1 database on the same server as the 8.0 database and can connect via
a db link and sqlplus.

I have looked at Metalink and found an article that is pretty straight
forward.  I don't have my connections 'fully qualified' but the
connections are set up the same and one works and one doesn't.  When you
use a link does it use the 'listener' where the database resides and
where the connection is coming from?  This is probably a dumb question
but at this point I am questioning everything I think I know about it.

Any guidance??

Thanks, Laura
