A:
favicon's are second-class-citizens in most browsers. You have to clear the cache, restart the browser, and hope it updates. Otherwise just wait and the browser will eventually update it.
You say you are testing in IE5? Please don't. No website should be testing anything older than IE7. Check out Google's Chrome Frame plugin for IE.

@Coronatus it's not important in which version i test. i can't understand why the other site's icons were shown, but mine wasn't. i try to clear cache and restart browser, doesn't help

It *is* important. Some browsers, specially IE <7, have tons of compatibility problems.

You could also try adding it to favorites and then refreshing the page if you don't want to do all of the other stuff (clearing the cache + restarting the browser). It might work

If you have the page bookmarked, delete the bookmark, delete your browser cache, refresh the page, bookmark the page, refresh the page. It should appear (to disappear again later).
