Looping problem in IE ?

I have a strange problem with an animated.gif banner. Basically, the animated.gif banner only displays the first frame of the animation when inserted in a .shtml file and viewed in IE only.
It works fine if I use the .shtml in Netscape or if I just call up the animated banner in an html file in IE. Just doesn't work in a .shtml file viewed in IE. Any idea what could be the cause of this ????

Thanks, Kelly
