Are you sure your dblinks work?
Check what you have in sys.link$.
If your dblinks are public be sure to create them with the "USING" clause.
Last but not least, you may be hitting a bug.

hi list,
i am trying to make a database link from oracle 8.1.7 to oracle 8.0.5,

the schema in which its being created exists in both the databases with
same password and privillages, and i am using CONNECTED USER mode of
database link,
