.eot not working in IE

Question

I'm importing a font with CSS. However, it does not seem to work in IE. I don't know why.

Here's my CSS code:

    @font-face {
    font-family: 'bello';
    src: url('../fonts/bello.eot?');
    src: url('../fonts/bello.eot?#iefix') format('embedded-opentype'),
         url('../fonts/bello.woff') format('woff'),
         url('../fonts/bello.ttf') format('truetype'), 
         url('../fonts/bello.svg#bello') format('svg');

    font-weight: normal;
    font-style: normal;
              }
.bello { 
    font-family: "bello", Verdana, Tahoma;
}

I've added .eot, .svg, .woff, .ttf and .otf to the folder fonts. It displays correctly in all browsers except IE. To create the .eot file I used this site: http://www.kirsle.net/wizards/ttf2eot.cgi.

I have no idea why it's not working. Any help would be great. Thanks!

solved the problem, it was not problem of the eot file. It seems IE has a problem finding the .eot file if the family name is different as the full name of the font. In my case font name was bello-script and font family was bello. Changed both of them and everything worked fine.
