er.. well not really, but I have a similar set up which works.  I'm 
assuming you are happy that your client's config is OK but just in 
case... /etc/sane.d/dll.conf has "net" uncommented and 
/etc/sane.d/net.conf has the IP address of the server.

BTW if you want to use your scanner from a windoze box, there is a port of 
xsane [ http://www.xsane.org ]  which is useful if you are running the 
windows version of The Gimp (they integrate nicely).  For other things, 
try SaneTwain [ http://sanetwain.ozuzo.net/ ]. I find it works nicely 
from PaintShop, but bombs if I try to use it from MS Office apps 
(surprised - not!)
