I've found that it is the global_name, not the db_domain, which gets
appended to the dblink. You can check the global_name by
select * from global_name
I've had problems with dblinks if the global_name is not the same as the
db_domain. In that case, describing over a dblink fails.

You could try setting GLOBAL_NAMES to FALSE in your init.ora file.
By default, it's set to TRUE. Once I set mine to FALSE, I was able to
create public database links easily.
