Damn favicon driving me insane

Recently moved servers and ever since I've been going insane with my favicon.ico

I can server to server transfer a working one off an older machine or even if I copy it from my pc...

in ie it'll either be blank or red x if I try to load just the .ico file in my browser..
in firefox I get just the text instead http://www.pk.com/favicon.ico and instead of it saying icon image above it says image (on my computer it shows that it's a windows icon file.
in netscape it tells me the file has errors..

now... all this time I have a copy of the same image under a different name..
http://www.persiankitty.com/faviconpk.ico

I can see it just fine in all browsers... rename it to favicon.ico and boom... problems.

I uploaded an older and larger gif form and use the link element line in my header. That I can see... but I'm still trying to figure what's going on with the .ico file.

PS.. I can take another site's ico file.. say googles.. upload it to my machine see it fine if the name is anything other than favicon.ico the minute I name it favicon.ico the problems occur with it.

I'm not anal... really I'm not... really
