How to query remote database?

Hello!

I've got problem querying remote database. After command: select * from user.table_at_remote;
I get a message: "ORA-02019: connection description for remote database not found ".
I don't know what am I doing wrong. I've already defined a database link named 'remote'. I've also put 'remote' in /etc/hosts file ('remote' is the name of the remote server). Then I've defined an appropriote entry in tnsnames.ora file.

I think I am doing some stupid mistake - I am quite new to Oracle. Can you help me with that?
