-first go to "control panel -> administrative tools" and open "Data sources ODBC " and go to tab "system

(DSN)" and click "add..." I do this example to admintool only but you need to do this to all 5 databases. In first screen, scroll down and choose "SQL Server" from bottom of list Next give name RYLAdmin and choose SQL server from dropdown menu in last field (you can use 127.0.0.1 or (local) and go to next step... Now choose SQL authentication and put checkmark on box and give username and pas sword (in this case: ryl1db/ryldb) (see pic1) In next step look that default database is admintool (it should be but if its no t, change it and click next) Now click "done" button or whatever its in your windows and you get popup box wi th some text and 3 buttons You can click "test datasource..." to make sure its ok. Repeat that step above with all 5 databases! 2 things changes with different databases, its system DSN name and default datab ase so i list them here: System DSN name: ---------------RYLAdmin RYLAuth RYLGame RYLKeeper RYLLog DEFAULT Database: ----------------admintool youxiuser winner1 pay_gamemyth youxicard

So if you got all 5 done, your main ODBC window should look like this (look pic2 ) -Setting up "file DSN": go to tab "file (DSN)" and click "add..." Process is about same as in system DSN but now names are database names, not DSN names. Also default database for ALL 5 datasources will be "youxicard" So do that to all 5 databases and use database names (see pic3 for more info) Once its done your "file DSN tab should look like this (look pic4) Now you are ready to setup ryl server...go to folder "Setting up server"
