favicon.ico problem

[RGrphc2]

okay, i'm pretty much finished with the website design for my friend, and he wants a custom logo in the site, i read i had to create a Favicon.ico and place it in the root directory.

I did this and it managed to work, but the the icon that angelfire uses overwrites the ico file that i placed in the directory. anyhelp?? or should he pay for webhosting to get the ico file to work?

Have him pay for hosting, or put the file on another server and link back to it in the HTML source of each page.

<link rel="shortcut icon" href="http://www.somedomain.com/somename.ico" />

Personally, I'd just go ahead and get him hooked up with a good hosting company. I'd suggest ASO (A Small Orange). If AngelFire's free hosting is working for him, ASO's 'Tiny' plan would work even better and it's only $30/year ($2.50/month).
