Answer 2

This is the code I'm using on my site:

<link href="http://www.mysite.com/favicon.ico" rel="shortcut icon" />

It works and is valid according to http://validator.w3.org/.

I think the main problem with your code is that you're using uppercase letters. Use lowercase letters instead.

Since your favicon probably is used on many pages, I also suggest you use the full adress, like in the code above, so that all files on your site can find the favicon no matter what folder they are in.
