Setting up D-Link DPH-50U Skype VoIP adapter on my 32-bit Vista system took waaaay longer than I expected. Here's some hints that will make this task more manageable:

  • Latest Skype version (4.0) does not support speed-dialing, which is required by the adapter to make outgoing calls to Skype users through the phone handset. You will need to download Skype version 3.8 to be able to make outbound calls to Skype accounts.

  • Don't even bother to use printed quick installation guide and the driver from the provided CD - things didn't work and installation in reality didn't match the sequence listed in the doc.
    Get the latest driver from D-Link web site and use this manual to guide you through the software and hardware installation process.

  • Finally, in order to make this whole thing work I had to manually adjust sound devices settings in Skype and point them to VoIPxxxxx devices.
