Smbclient uses NetServerEnum RAP function which is limited to 64K of data.
XP is probably using the equivalent RPC call.

It's not a RAP transaction limitation -- it's a browser protocol limit.
Either the NetrServerEnum RPC must be used or I hear there is a
NetServerEnum3 that can get the secondary buffers.

I'm not sure (someone will correct me if I'm wrong) but I beleive the
rpcclient utility can perform the NetrServerEnum call. Perhaps you can use
that?

It would be a little smoother if smbclient/libsmbclient would just use the
appropriate call depending on wheather or not the server supports rpcs but
for some reason that doesn't appear to be the case.
