Problems when using distributed SQL??

I am trying to use the 'try before you buy' version on Oracle7 for OS/2. I had it set up on two OS/2 nodes connected through TCP/IP. The setup was easy and I managed to connect and perform SQL on both machines using the other as client or as a server. The installer created a 'starter' database which I have been using so far with no problem.. Until I tried to perform a distributed SQL request.

Here is the situation:

I create table1 on machine1 and table2 on machine2. I connected locally on machine1 and created a "PUBLIC DATABASE LINK machine2.domain.org CONNECT TO user IDENTIFIED BY password USING 't:machine2.domain.org'"
The LINK was created OK, however, every time I try to issue the SQL statement:

SELECT * FROM table2_at_machine2.domain.org WHERE fname='Alex' AND lname='Alex';

I get the following error message:
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-02085: database link machine2.domain.org connects to ORACLE.WORLD

I do not know that my database name is ORACLE.WORLD and if it is how can I change it to machine2.domain.org.

Thank you for help in advance..Please e-mail me if possible.
