I don't know of any situations where you can share a single PCI card between two computers over a network. The cards are specific to each machine. However, I did used to have a SCSI scanner that could be controlled across a network. The machine that the scanner was connected to ran a piece of server software and the second computer's scanner software communicated with the scanner over the network cable, via the server software. It was useless in my case because the two computers weren't in the same room, but had they been it would have saved kicking the operator of the scanner computer off so that you could scan your picture and then transfer it over the network cable to your own computer.
