Generally no, unless it is an expensive scanner designed to be used on
a network.

The only way I can think of, would be if you use the
remote control feature of Windows XP (Pro, not Home).
You can than use that computer to scan a document. After
it is scanned, you can copy the file to your own computer.
Good luck.

Network scanning isn't possible on Windows XP unless you have a Xerox
Network Scanner. The best work around would be to use Remote Desktop as
someone else suggested, then copy your scanned file to a share on the
network.

The is a software package which allows to to share a scanner accross the
networ. However, I do not remember the name of it. Also, with the price of
scanner still falling, I may not be a good solution since the software may
be more expensive than another new scanner.
