ASP.NET MVC 2 RTM - Icon Does Not Display in Internet Explorer

Question

I have two lines in the main section of my main page:

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

However, the icon does not appear in Internet Explorer (versions 6, 7, 8). In Firefox and Safari, favicon works fine. I even tried replacing href with a URL to my site ( http: //www......./Content/Images/favicon.ico ), but this still does not work in Internet Explorer. Did I miss something?
