How to set favicon for IE?

I am setting favicon for my website and can't make IE to work. I am using IE9 and the website is on internal test server. It works fine on Chrome, FF, Safari.

I have this line on Master page header. I also tried to put on page level.

<link rel="shortcut icon" type="image/x-icon" href="/favicon.ico">

favicon.ico is in root folder. It is generate from this website.

I have cleared cache, deleted browsing histories, restarted IE and click on refresh button several times.

There are many people with same problem but I have tried all sort but still no joy.

But all the popular websites work fine on IE so what I am wondering is how did they do that?

UPDATE:

I also tried putting absolute URL. Didn't work.

Wonder if i need to set anything on IIS?

Try to use this ico file (for test purpose) http://cdn.sstatic.net/stackoverflow/img/favicon.ico

if it works then there is an issue with the ico file, otherwise remove this type="image/x-icon" .
