are you using global_names = true? do the link names match the global names?
is there a local tns entry on the machine with database A that points to database B? we had a problem like then that was traced to our using Oracle Names without local tns files.

Does anyone know the most common reasons why a DB LINK would give me the following error :

ORA-02019: connection description for remote database not found

Both databases exist .... And even though I get this error going from Database A to Database B, the link I have between Database B and Database A works fine.
