Peculiar favicon.ico Behaviour

Strange one this, I have pages hosted on my University's web server which I have added my own favicon files to.

When I view the pages in Firebird I get the Uni's default favicon in the address bar, if I put the site into a tabbed window then I get MY favicon in the tab but still not in the address bar. When you click between the tabs you can see my icon for a split second before the uni's one comes in.

It seems to work in IE when you 'flick' the 'e' icon out of the address bar.

The address is set up as:
hxxp://school.university.ac.uk/~username.....

The pages use:
<head>
<title>A Page Title</title>
<link href="favicon.ico" rel="shortcut icon" type="image/x-icon" />
</head>

Am I stuck with this?

Thank you very much if you can help.

Chris

Have you tried using the absolute path for the href= attribute?

I have tried it now and it still makes no difference, I tried Konqueror and Mozilla in Linux last night and it worked OK, I could just put it down to firebird I suppose. Anyone had similar problems?

Thanks for the thought though Tedster,
