The carboxylic acid needs to be activated by certain carbodiimide such as EDC. More often than not, NHS is added to form semi-stable reactive intermediate.
A typic recipe is as follows:
PBS buffer solution, containing 0.2 M EDC and 0.05 M NHS.

Stream Video with VLC
The procedure is the exactly same as MP3 except one point: in the Stream Output window, in the profile section, you need to select MPEG-TS.
If you can only hear the sound, try to select MPEG-4 from the Video Codec tag in the profile section.
Because of the big size of video files, wireless internet connection leads to choppy video and is thus not recommended. Use network cable.

Run Diablo in multiple windows by Virtual Machine (zz)
Found this in Baron's Bazaar written by FeastForCrows:
" I was messing around with virtual machines using Windows Virtual PC 2007, so I thought I would see if I could run D2 in a virtual PC session. That worked, so I tried another installation in another virtual machine ( I have 2 full sets of the D2 CDs) which then allowed me to concurrently run two D2 sessions at once on one computer.If you are not familiar with virtual machines, it is like each running virtual machine is its own computer with its own memory, hard drive, etc. which is totally separate from host system. Therefore each D2 session running inside a virtual machine does not see any other D2 session, so they coexist happily.Both sessions are displayed simultaneously on the same computer screen, and you just slide your cursor between them to control each session. You do not have to iconify one to see the other as with running two D2 sessions within the same windows session.
From the screenshot above you can see the two sessions. My screen size on my laptop is not quite big enough to show 2 800x600 windows so there is a bit of overlap on the two sessions. With an external monitor this is not an issue.Another thing that makes it convenient is that you can save the running state of the virtual PC so that you have an extremely rapid start up of your D2 session. It takes about 6 or 7 seconds to get back onto Battlenet when you click on a dormant session.

Host OS: Windows Vista business
Guest OSs: 2 X Windows XP (256Mb RAM, 5Gb Hard drive, 800x600 resolution)

Ways avoiding Blizzard ban
- Don't use D2loader.
- As you are using mindigo, turn off the dropping notifier.
Run Diablo in multiple windows by FastSwitch users(zz)
Found it from d2jsp forum written by JMH:
"I found a way to have more than one Diablo II up at once This method uses no editing of files and no other program whatsoever (like hex editors and d2loader). This method requires you to have the Diablo II cd in your CD-ROM, and requires legit cdkeys installed in order to work properly.
You have to have 1 complete installation on Diablo II for each window you want to run. For example if you want to run 3 Diablo II's you must have 3 Diablo II's installed in different directories on your hard drive. (It does not matter what you named the directory or the location of them, just make sure they are in different folders) The cdkeys you use must be the default ones you installed in your Diablo II installation directory. You will not be able to use any cdkey.mpq files that you made with Onlyers's cdkey changer.
Assuming you use Windows XP, go to your control panel. Click on User Accounts. Make separate user accounts for each Diablo II window you want to have loaded. For example my User Accounts are JMH, JMH2, JMH3 on my computer. This allows me to have 3 D2's active at once. If I wanted to have 4 up at once all I would have to do is create another user account and install a fourth Diablo II on my hard drive.
Once you created all the accounts, click on change the way users log on or off. Make sure you have the Use the Welcome Screen and Use Fast User Switching boxes both checked. Then close the user accounts screen and your control panel screen.Start one Diablo II game then alt tab out of it, click on start menu, then click log off, then select switch user, then click on whatever user you want to load. (The first time you switch to a different user account it will take a minute to load each one, after it has loaded once already it is a very quick process) Then start another Diablo II game that is loacated in a different directory with a different cdkey as the default. Repeat this process for however many games you want active at once.
This method is 100% legit. It does not alter any D2 files or use any other programs that Blizzard doesnt like us using. There is NO way that blizz can do anything about it. You did not alter their files or use any 3rd party programs. Now we can have as many D2 windows up at once and not have to worry if blizz will do anything about it No more worries about droping due to timeout (except for the usual ones that blizz gives you every once and a while becasue of server lag).With hex editors and d2loader you run the possibilty of Blizz banning you because it viloates the EULA we all agreed to when we created our BNET accounts. (Hex editors alter Diablo II files and thus is in violation of EULA, and d2loader disables the cdkey check which is a copywright violation) As i said earlier, I did not discover this method, this guide is based off a method that was posted by Inokis on mousepad's forums.Moderators Please sticky and pin this post.

Let RedVex work with your Diablo II server
You can test your RedVex plugin on your own server.
However, Redvex and the server cannot be installed on the same computer due to port conflict.
The configuration of RedVex is as follows.
However, Redvex and the server cannot be installed on the same computer due to port conflict.
The configuration of RedVex is as follows.
- Launch RedVex.
- Go to “setting”, click “option”, in “server setting”, change “Name” to your D2GS IP; make sure “chat” 6112, “realm” 6113, “game” 4000.
Note: You can also add the new Realm name through RedVex besides Battle.net (TM) Gateway editor. Go to setting”, click “realm”, add or modify realm as you want.
Install Diablo server
I’ll show you how to set up Diablo II server (closed realm) on windows XP for Diablo II & LOD, up to v1.12a.
1. Software needed
a. Player Vs. Player Gaming Network Server (PvPGN)
It is a battle.net server emulation. Supporting Blizzard games, such as StarCraft, Diablo II, and Warcraft III.
Go to download page, click on “more files”. Pick up one from the “pvpgn(stable)” list. Strings such as odbc, SQLite, MySQL stand for the database you may use to support the software. For simple use, you don’t have to worry about them except SQLite.
I’m using “PvPGN-1.8.2-0-Win32-MySQL-5.0.45-BIN.zip”.
Scroll down to the “support files”, download “pvpgn-support-1.2.zip”.
b. Diablo II Game Server (D2GS)
It is the key part to turn PvPGN into a Diablo server. I’m using “D2GS-112a(1).rar”.
2. Set up file structure
a) Extract “PvPGN-1.8.2-0-Win32-MySQL-5.0.45-BIN.zip” to a directory called “PvPGN”.
b) Extract “pvpgn-support-1.2.zip” to “PvPGN\files”.
c) Create a folder called “D2GS” in “PvPGN”.
d) Extract “D2GS-112a(1).rar” file to “PvPGN\D2GS”.
e) Copy the following files from the installation directory of Diablo II LOD to “PvPGN\D2GS”.
d2data.mpq
d2exp.mpq
d2sfx.mpq
d2speech.mpq
Patch_D2.mpq
D2Client.dll
D2CMP.dll
D2Common.dll
D2Game.dll
D2gfx.dll
D2Lang.dll
D2MCPClient.dll
D2Net.dll
D2sound.dll
D2Win.dll
Fog.dll
ijl11.dll
Storm.dll
3. Configuration
a. D2GS configuration
Go to D2GS folder, RIGHT-CLICK "d2gs.reg", and left-click "Edit".
Find "D2CSIP"="192.168.1.1" & "D2DBSIP"="192.168.1.1", and change the pre-configured IP to the IP of the server computer.
Run the "install.bat" in D2GS folder.
Click "yes" when prompted "Are you sure you want to add the information in....to the registry"
(NOTE: D2GS has been registered as a service which will begin automatically, the next time your computer restarts).
This will import the registry information to “HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\D2Server”, and install “D2GSSVC.exe” as a server.
Go to registry to double check it.
b. D2CS configuration
Go to “PvPGN\conf”.
Open "d2cs.conf" in a text editor.
Find and change the following lines:
realmname = D2CS to realmname = "[Realm Name You Want]"
(NOTE: ADD quotes!!! Or else you Will have a problem if your realm name has any spaces in it)Edit the following lines to match the IP of your server:
servaddrs = [IP OF YOUR SERVER]:6113
gameservlist = [IP OF YOUR SERVER]
bnetdaddr = [IP OF YOUR SERVER]:6112
Save & Close "d2cs.conf"
c. D2DBS configuration
Go to “PvPGN\conf”.
Open "d2dbs.conf" in a text editor. Find and change the following lines:
