Faster method needed - reading text files stored on local network

Hi,

I'm using Delphi 7 Personal and have written the following code in
order to read some text files (only line 3 to line 5) who are stored
on a local network server.

procedure ReadSomeLines (fileName: string);
var
   fileData : TStringList;
   readOneLine : String;
   i : Integer;

 begin
   fileData := TStringList.Create;
   fileData.LoadFromFile(fileName);
   for i := 3 to 5 do
   begin
     readOneLine := fileData[i];
     {do something with this line}
   end;
 end;

Unfortunately, this code works VERY slow. However, reading files from
CDROM works very fast.

Is there another faster way to read files from a local network?
