If the server with the images has a webserver installed *and* is accessible
to all users that can access your primary server, than use absolute URLs to
reference the images.
http://hostnameofimageserver.company/images/foobar.jpeg
If the 'image server' is not directly accessible from the machines where the
browser is running (e.g. behind a firewall) or has not webserver, but your
primary server can access is, you can create a 'virtual
directory' (assuming you are using IIS). Configure it to map the network
path \\theOtherServerMapping\wwwRoot\inetpub\images to the local
directory /images (IIS has a wizard for this IIRC). In this case
use /images/foobar.jpeg as src attribute of your images.
