Subject: Urgent help: strange DB_LINK problem...

List...

Please, help me to solve this thread, I've been trying
for a whole day and cannot find the problem...
also, I've been searching at Metalink with no luck.

this is the scenario:

1.- Local  BD: Oracle 8.1.7, SID = fnd on Solaris 5.8
1.1 TNSNAMES.ORA has a FND_REMOTE alias for Remote BD

2.- Remote BD: Oracle 8.1.7, SID = fnd on Solaris 5.8

Note that both are the same SID, DB and OS version.
They are at distinct locations.

On local BD, tnsnames.ora is configured correctly,
I've checked in this way:

1.- $ tnsping fnd_remote 
Attempting to contact
(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(Host=xx.xx.xx.xx)(PORT=1522))
OK (10 msec)

2.- 
SQL>
connect sys/my_incredible_secret_password@fnd_remote
Connected.

The problem starts when I create a PUBLIC db_link.

SQL> create public database link fnd_remote
  2  using 'fnd_remote';

Database link created.

I'm configuring Symmetric Replication, so, I need a
PUBLIC database link like above.

And, now... and type:

SQL> select * from global_name@fnd_remote;
select * from global_name@fnd_remote
                          *
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve service name

Facts:
global_names = true on both databases
Connectivity is OK in both ways.

Any ideas?
Thanks in advance!

JL
