PS
Often (but not always) placement in the sentence will help you decide. Examples:
...a drink for Mr. Dussel
("for Mr. Dussel" is right next to "drink," a noun; it's also telling who will get that drink. That's why it's an adjective use of the prep phrase.)
... the problem of noise
(Again, the prepositional phrase "of noise" is right next to the noun it modifies. Therefore, it's an adjective use.)
