Why isn't my favicon appearing in IE7/8?

My favicon is a 16x16 resolution, 16-color ICO file. It will not appear in IE 7/8 no matter what I do! I've tried everything I can think of, including:
generating the ICO with a variety of
different utilities,
changing the syntax of the favicon link elements in the document head,
using absolute, relative, and root-relative URLs in the favicon
link elements,
using a PNG instead of an ICO file,
ensuring that I am uploading the file via FTP in binary mode,
As a longtime web developer/programmer, I can't believe that this is tripping me up. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
