WPA & File sharing

I have a desktop and a laptop and I am able to share files and printers
between the two computers as long as the router is not running any
encryption. Once I turn on WPA the file sharing quits and I am unable to see
the other computer. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Steve

Are you certain that both the desktop and laptop support WPA? When the
desktop and laptop are connected to the router, can they ping each other?
