Favicon - Back and forth

[motuiti]

I have a favicon on my home page. It is written this way:
<LINK REL="shortcut icon" HREF="http://www.website.com/palm.ico">


I use web forwarding from Network Solutions to my server company where my site resides.

The favicon shows up fine going directly to the server site but does not show up via forwarding.

Each company says its the other fault. I think this might be a better forum for the answer.

Thanks

How is your website forwarded?
DNS, Location:-header, JavaScript, frames?

But if your entire site is forwarded, and not only your favicon, why are you using a full path? You might just as easily do this "/palm.ico" since it will automatically translate to "website.com/palm.ico"...

Not sure how it is forwarded nor am I familiar with terms you use.

All I did was check the box in the (Network Solutions) manager for Web Forwarding & Masking. Forwarding is works fine but no favicon.

Oh, tried your suggestion using "/palm.ico" instead of "website.com/palm.ico"
Still no luck.

Shouldn't a favicon always be named "favicon.ico"?
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="favicon.ico">
In this case the favicon is in the same folder as the html, so it's not "/favicon.ico".

Sometimes a favicon only shows up after bookmarking the website, depending on the browser.

If the forwarding use frames, it wont show the original favicon.
