Indeed, that was the problem.

Actually it does work. But it's naughty not to follow the rules, so I will
not do this anymore ;-)

You're right, this is a second problem. But because of the first one, I
didn't see it. I changed my iptables-stuff, and now I can scan!

Wow, Thanks!

Now the only problem that's left, is the fact that xsane doesn't recognize
my scanner on the client side. If i run saned on the server, scanimage -L
finds no scanners, if I run saned -d it does!
But as I can scan from the command line with scanimage, I'm a happy man
for now.

Thenks again!
Steven.
