Favicon works in Firefox but not IE?

I manage a Web site, and have set up a favicon.ico in the root directory and added a LINK REL statement in the head. Everything is fine in Firefox, but in IE it's not displaying.

One of the things I wonder about is there's a problem in our setup and domainname.com does not refer automatically to www.domainname.com. I wonder if that's the problem.

Also, I specify favicon.ico as just /favicon.ico, and I wonder if I need to specify the domain. Any advice would be appreciated.

Update:

I'm already using IE7.0. I see the favicon on other sites, like Wikipedia, just not on mine.

    Paste this below instead of what you put:

    <html>

    <head>

    <link rel="shortcut icon" href="YOURSITE.com/favicon.ico" >

    </html>

    </head>

    <body>

    </body>

    Idk bout this.

    The link connot just be /favicon.ico, it has to be YOURSITE.com/favicon.ico
