Hi,
I've been following your advice and set up my environment.
I created a dblink and tested it. I got an "ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve the connect identifier specified" error.
I'm pretty sure I've got a mis-setting somewhere.
I'm going to past my entire layout and anyone that wants to peruse through and spot the error(s) please feel free.:
