All databases which you want to access must be in the TNSNAMES.ORA on the host from which the request orginates. Just put an entry into your tnsnames.ora for this database.

HTH,

This is not exactly true. You can actually put the full connect string into the "create database link....using" command, and make a connection to the remote database internally. So a tnsnames.ora is not actually required.
