Use this window to create a traffic class rule to classify the upstream 
traffic, assign a queue that defines the precedence and the interface, and 
optionally overwrite the IP header DSCP byte. A rule consists of a class 
name and at least one condition. Please remember that all of the specified 
conditions on this window must be met for the rule to take effect. 
Click the Save/Apply button to save and activate this rule.

Routing 
To access the Routing windows, click the Routing button in the Advanced Setup directory. 
 Default Gateway 
If the Enable Automatic Assigned Default Gateway checkbox is ticked, 
the Router will accept the first default gateway assignment received from 
one of the enabled PPPoA, PPPoE, or MER/DHCP enabled PVC(s). 
If this checkbox is not ticked, enter the static default gateway and/or a 
WAN interface. Click the Save/Apply button when you are finished. 
 Static Route 
Click the Add button on the Routing – Static Route window to access the 
following window displayed on the next page. 

Section 3 – Configuration

Enter the static routing information for an entry to the routing table. 
Click the Save/Apply button when you are finished. 
 DNS 
To access the DNS windows, click the DNS button in the Advanced Setup directory. The NAT button appears when configuring WAN interface in 
PPPoA, PPPoE, MER or IPoA. 
 DNS Server 
If you have not been given specific DNS server IP addresses or if the 
Router is not pre-configured with DNS server information, tick the Enable 
Automatic Assigned DNS checkbox. Auto discovery DNS instructs the 
Router to automatically obtain the DNS IP address from the ISP through 
DHCP. If your WAN connection uses a Static IP address, auto discovery 
for DNS cannot be used. 
If you have DNS IP addresses provided by your ISP, deselect the Enable 
Automatic Assigned DNS checkbox and enter these IP addresses in the 
available entry fields for the Primary DNS Server and the Secondary DNS 
Server. Click the Save button when you are finished. 

Section 3 – Configuration 
D-Link DSL-2642B User Manual    66 
Dynamic DNS 
The Router supports Dynamic DNS (Dynamic Domain Name Service). 
The Dynamic DNS service allows a dynamic public IP address to be 
associated with a static host name in any of the many domains, allowing 
access to a specified host from various locations on the Internet. This is 
enabled to allow remote access to a host by clicking a hyperlinked URL in 
the form hostname.dyndns.org, Many ISPs assign public IP addresses 
using DHCP, this can make it difficult to locate a specific host on the LAN 
using standard DNS. If for example you are running a public web server or 
VPN server on your LAN, this ensures that the host can be located from 
the Internet if the public IP address changes. DDNS requires that an 
account be setup with one of the supported DDNS providers. 
Click Add to see the Add DDNS Settings section.   
Enter the required DDNS information, click the Save/Apply button to save 
the information. 
Note 
DDNS requires that an account be setup with one of the supported 
DDNS servers prior to engaging it on the Router. This function will not 
work without an accepted account with a DDNS server.

Appendix A – Troubleshooting 
D-Link DSL-2642B User Manual    83 
Troubleshooting 
This chapter provides solutions to problems that might occur during the installation and operation of the DSL-2642B. Read the following 
descriptions if you are having problems. (The examples below are illustrated in Windows® XP. If you have a different operating system, the 
screenshots on your computer will look similar to the following examples.) 
1.    How do I configure my DSL-2642B Router without the CD-ROM? 
•  Connect your PC to the Router using an Ethernet cable. 
•  Open a web browser and enter the address http://192.168.1.1 
•  The default username is ‘admin’ and the default password is ‘admin’. 
•  If you have changed the password and cannot remember it, you will need to reset the Router to the factory default setting (see question 2), 
which will set the password back to ‘admin’. 
Note:   Please refer to the next section “Networking Basics” to check your PC’s IP configuration if you can’t see the login windows. 
2.    How do I reset my Router to the factory default settings? 
•  Ensure the Router is powered on. 
•  Press and hold the reset button on the back of the device for approximately 5 to 8 seconds. 
•  This process should take around 30~60 seconds.   
Note:   Resetting the Router to the factory default settings will erase the current configuration settings. To reconfigure your settings, login to the Router as 
outlined in question 1, then run the Quick Setup wizard. 
3.    What can I do if my Router is not working correctly? 
There are a few quick steps you can take to try and resolve any issues: 
•  Follow the directions in Question 2 to reset the Router. 
•  Check that all the cables are firmly connected at both ends. 
•  Check the LEDs on the front of the Router. The Power indicator should be on, the Status indicator should flash, and the DSL and LAN 
indicators should be on as well. 

Appendix A – Troubleshooting 
D-Link DSL-2642B User Manual    84 
•  Please ensure that the settings in the Web-based configuration manager, e.g. ISP username and password, are the same as the settings 
that have been provided by your ISP.   
4.    Why can’t I get an Internet connection? 
For ADSL ISP users, please contact your ISP to make sure the service has been enabled/connected by your ISP and that your ISP username and 
password are correct. 
5.    What can I do if my router can’t be detected by running installation CD? 
•  Ensure the Router is powered on. 
•  Check that all the cables are firmly connected at both ends and all LEDs work correctly.   
•  Ensure only one network interface card on your PC is activated. 
•  Click on Start > Control Panel > Security Center to disable the setting of Firewall. 
Note:    There might be a potential security issue if you disable the setting of Firewall on your PC. Please remember to turn it back on once you have finished 
the whole installation procedure and can surf on Internet without any problem. 

Appendix B - Networking Basics 
D-Link DSL-2642B User Manual    85 
Networking Basics 
Check Your IP Address 
After you install your new D-Link adapter, by default, the TCP/IP settings should be set to obtain an IP address from a DHCP server (i.e. wireless 
router) automatically. To verify your IP address, please follow the steps below. 
Click on Start > Run. In the run box type cmd and click on the OK. 
At the prompt, type ipconfig and press Enter. 
This will display the IP address, subnet mask, and the default 
gateway of your adapter. 
If the address is 0.0.0.0, check your adapter installation, security 
settings, and the settings on your router. Some firewall software 
programs may block a DHCP request on newly installed adapters. 
If you are connecting to a wireless network at a hotspot (e.g. hotel, 
coffee shop, airport), please contact an employee or administrator 
to verify their wireless network settings. 

Appendix B - Networking Basics 
D-Link DSL-2642B User Manual    86 
Statically Assign An IP Address 
If you are not using a DHCP capable gateway/router, or you need to assign a static IP address, please follow the steps below: 
Step 1 
Windows® XP - Click on Start > Control Panel > Network Connections. 
Windows® 2000 - From the desktop, right-click on the My Network Places > Properties. 
Step 2 
Right-click on the Local Area Connection which represents your D-Link network adapter and select Properties. 
Step 3 
Highlight Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) and click on the Properties. 
Step 4 
Click on the Use the following IP address and enter an IP address that is on the same subnet as 
your network or the LAN IP address on your router. 
Example: If the router’s LAN IP address is 192.168.1.1, make your IP address 192.168.1.X where X 
is a number between 2 and 99. Make sure that the number you choose is not in use on the network. 
Set Default Gateway the same as the LAN IP address of your router (192.168.1.1). 
Set Primary DNS the same as the LAN IP address of your router (192.168.1.1). The Secondary 
DNS is not needed or you may enter a DNS server from your ISP. 
Step 5 
Click on the OK twice to save your settings.
