Andrea,

When GLOBAL_NAMES=TRUE then the name of the db link must match the global name of the db to which it connects. You can check the global_name with   SELECT * FROM GLOBAL_NAME; In your case the global_name of the remote db is AU34TD.WORLD so you will get this error unless you name the db link AU34TD.WORLD.

You can set GLOBAL_NAMES=FALSE, as long as you are not using something, such as replication, which requires this to be true.

You can alter the global name of a db using   ALTER DATABASE RENAME GLOBAL_NAME TO
<newname.domain>;

WARNING: Never alter the global name of a db that is already part of an advanced replication environment or you will break the replication environment.

HTH,
