Bug: Listing shares with smb-cli fails on Windows Server 2016

## Describe the bug

Expected `cargo run -- --username <user> --password <password> info '\\\\<ip>'` to return the shares available on the SMB server. Instead, the CLI times out while waiting for a response from the server, and debug logs show that the library is failing to parse a server response. The corresponding command with samba (`smbclient -L '<ip>' -U '<user>%<password>'`) works fine.

## To Reproduce

Create a Windows Server 2016 VM and use smb-cli with the pattern specified above.

## Environment details

- If this is a runtime failure, please provide:
  - SMB server version - Windows Server 2016, Version 1607 (OS Build 14393.1884)
  - Default client config specified in the `smb-cli` tool

- Crate version: 0.10.3 (latest on crates.io)
- OS, architecture & version: NixOS Linux 25.11 (Xantusia), rustc 1.92.0-nightly (844264add 2025-10-14), x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu

## Logs

Please provide a detailed log of the issue.

Preferably, run with `RUST_LOG=DEBUG`.
