You made something wrong in your steps. Mysql ? WTF L2Off uses MSSQL. Maybe you didn't setup the ODBC, or something. Check that you made everything as it should be. I can't tell you more cause i don't have more info, that error can have many reasons.

You MUST setup the ODBC correctly, you should setup the TCP/IP connections using SQL Server Surface Area Configuration.

P.S: Don't use Express version use Enterprise, cause Express has very limited functions. I think your problem is ODBC configuration.
