favicon.ico works in Firefox but not in IE ?
I can't get my "favicon.ico" to work in Internet Explorer, but it shows up fine in Firefox. I've read the wiki (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Favicon) and I can't seem to figure out what I am doing wrong here.

Converted it to 16x16... still not showing in IE :(
Two other points worth mentioning about favicon. The amount of color could have an issue. I wouldn't save the file with a setting higher than 256.
IE often requires the page to be saved as a Favorite before the favicon is used. Does your IE browser show a favicon for this site?

works fine with me....i mean i can see your favicon in IE7
did you refresh the site in IE by hitting Ctrl+F5?

pretty sure that it only works reliably in IE7, and firefox
Favicons are supposed to be supported in IE5 and beyond.
Not sure what all you've tried yet, but getting the icon to actually display for IE can definitely be touchy (and inconsistent).
Here are some suggestions:

Let me know the results.

I don't have IE7, I have IE6, and I couldn't get it to show until I tried adding the site to my favorites, is there a way to get IE6 to display it prior to saving it as a favorite?
