I've added the MN 700 to my wired network to add wireless
functionality. I just plugged the MN700 directly into
one of the ports on the Linksys router. Unfortunately,
I've lost the ability to print to the printer that is
avaiable though, and connected to, the linksys router
when connected to the MN700. Clearly, the second router
has isolated the first, not allowing to pass through and
use the printer. How can I configure the MN 700 to act
merely as a access point and switch, and not a seperate
network environment? I'd like the share the same printer
whether hooked up to the wired Linksys or the wireless
MN700.

You need to change the MN-700 from router mode to access mode, as described
in Chapter 3 of the User's Guide, about Page 21. This includes turning off
the NAT capabilities on the MN-700. If you don't have the guide, it is
available for download here:
