Favicon icon not shown on IE11

Question

I have a favicon image generated that I would like to display in IE 11 but for the life of me I cannot figure out how to get it to display in IE 11.
I used a favicon generator at XXX to create my 32x32 favicon image then uploaded it to YYY where I generated the final favicon.ico image file comprising I expect the image in four different sizes.
I then uploaded the favicon.ico image file to my server's root directory.
I inserted the <link rel="shortcut icon" href="../Resouce/images/favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon" /> in the tag pair in my index.html file and uploaded it to my server's root directory. But when I load my home page in IE 11 no favicon is displayed. I am stumped. I have tried clearing my browser cache but still no joy.

Can you show some code, and have you tried:

<link rel="icon" href=" - path to your favicon.ico - " type="image/x-icon"     />
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="- path to your favicon.ico -" type="image/x-icon" />

or this:

<link rel="icon" href="/favicon.ico" type="image/vnd.microsoft.icon">
