font-face does not work locally

Question

I have been using @font-face for a while now and have not had any issues when viewing my files online. But @font-face has never worked locally.

I don't understand why I cannot get @font-face to work locally. I am using Visual Studio 2012 Ultimate for my dev.

CSS:

/* Include Fonts */
@font-face {
    font-family: 'SansationRegular';
    src: url('/Shared/Assets/Fonts/Sansation_Regular-webfont.eot');
    src: url('/Shared/Assets/Fonts/Sansation_Regular-webfont.eot?#iefix') format('embedded-opentype'),
         url('/Shared/Assets/Fonts/Sansation_Regular-webfont.woff') format('woff'),
         url('/Shared/Assets/Fonts/Sansation_Regular-webfont.ttf') format('truetype'),
         url('/Shared/Assets/Fonts/Sansation_Regular-webfont.svg#SansationRegular') format('svg');
    font-weight: normal;
    font-style: normal;

}

@font-face {
    font-family: 'SansationLight';
    src: url('/Shared/Assets/Fonts/Sansation_Light-webfont.eot');
    src: url('/Shared/Assets/Fonts/Sansation_Light-webfont.eot?#iefix') format('embedded-opentype'),
         url('/Shared/Assets/Fonts/Sansation_Light-webfont.woff') format('woff'),
         url('/Shared/Assets/Fonts/Sansation_Light-webfont.ttf') format('truetype'),
         url('/Shared/Assets/Fonts/Sansation_Light-webfont.svg#SansationLight') format('svg');
    font-weight: normal;
    font-style: normal;

}

@font-face {
    font-family: 'SansationBold';
    src: url('/Shared/Assets/Fonts/Sansation_Bold-webfont.eot');
    src: url('/Shared/Assets/Fonts/Sansation_Bold-webfont.eot?#iefix') format('embedded-opentype'),
         url('/Shared/Assets/Fonts/Sansation_Bold-webfont.woff') format('woff'),
         url('/Shared/Assets/Fonts/Sansation_Bold-webfont.ttf') format('truetype'),
         url('/Shared/Assets/Fonts/Sansation_Bold-webfont.svg#SansationBold') format('svg');
    font-weight: normal;
    font-style: normal;

}

@font-face {
    font-family: 'SansationLightLightItalic';
    src: url('/Shared/Assets/Fonts/Sansation_Light_Italic-webfont.eot');
    src: url('/Shared/Assets/Fonts/Sansation_Light_Italic-webfont.eot?#iefix') format('embedded-opentype'),
         url('/Shared/Assets/Fonts/Sansation_Light_Italic-webfont.woff') format('woff'),
         url('/Shared/Assets/Fonts/Sansation_Light_Italic-webfont.ttf') format('truetype'),
         url('/Shared/Assets/Fonts/Sansation_Light_Italic-webfont.svg#SansationLightLightItalic') format('svg');
    font-weight: normal;
    font-style: normal;

}

@font-face {
    font-family: 'SansationItalic';
    src: url('/Shared/Assets/Fonts/Sansation_Italic-webfont.eot');
    src: url('/Shared/Assets/Fonts/Sansation_Italic-webfont.eot?#iefix') format('embedded-opentype'),
         url('/Shared/Assets/Fonts/Sansation_Italic-webfont.woff') format('woff'),
         url('/Shared/Assets/Fonts/Sansation_Italic-webfont.ttf') format('truetype'),
         url('/Shared/Assets/Fonts/Sansation_Italic-webfont.svg#SansationItalic') format('svg');
    font-weight: normal;
    font-style: normal;

}

@font-face {
    font-family: 'SansationBoldItalic';
    src: url('/Shared/Assets/Fonts/Sansation_Bold_Italic-webfont.eot');
    src: url('/Shared/Assets/Fonts/Sansation_Bold_Italic-webfont.eot?#iefix') format('embedded-opentype'),
         url('/Shared/Assets/Fonts/Sansation_Bold_Italic-webfont.woff') format('woff'),
         url('/Shared/Assets/Fonts/Sansation_Bold_Italic-webfont.ttf') format('truetype'),
         url('/Shared/Assets/Fonts/Sansation_Bold_Italic-webfont.svg#SansationBoldItalic') format('svg');
    font-weight: normal;
    font-style: normal;

}

/* Set Fonts */
a, p, li, text, label, input, submit, textarea/* DEPRECATED:, #PositionPayRange*/ {
    font-family: 'SansationLight';
}

h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6, .PositionPayRange {
    font-family: 'SansationBold';
}

/* Font sizing */
a, p, li, label {
    font-size: small;

}

/* Set Font Colors */
a, p, li, text, label, input {
    color: #111111;
}

h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6 {
    color: #444444;
}

Can someone please explain why it works perfectly fine on the server, but never locally?

It does not matter which browser, or which version of a browser I use. Same results.

Edit:

My directory structure is:

root/
   Shared/
      Assets/
         Fonts/
            *fonts are in here.*
         CSS/
            * css files are in here. *
   Home.cshtml

This should work for your current directory structure.

         url('../Fonts/Sansation_Regular-webfont.woff') format('woff'),
         url('../Fonts/Sansation_Regular-webfont.ttf') format('truetype'),
