Network scans on ports 515, 81 at startup or network connection?

Question

I've got a user with Network Magic installed on his home PC.  When he connects to work using Cisco/Altiga VPN, his system is scanning the network on ports 515 and 81.  If he exits and then restarts Network Magic, that also triggers a scan.  The PC is assigned an address in the 172.16.14.0/24 network, but the scans start out at 172.16.0 and go up in odd increments.  Traffic is one way and only SYN packets; no servers are responding.
Is this something known in Network Magic, and if so, how can I have the user configure their system to turn it off?

I had the same problem. I fixed it with the script below.
Copy the script to Script-Editor and save it as a program. Then go to user-settings and add the program as an start-object.
on run
delay 5
tell application "Finder"
activate
try
-- networkdrive 1 connect to server
mount volume "smb://user:password@MAXTOR-STORAGE/Music"
on error
display dialog "Connection to MUSIC not possible" end try
try
-- networkdrive 2 connect to server without password protection
mount volume "smb://MAXTOR-STORAGE/PUBLIC"
on error
display dialog "Connection to PUBLIC not possible"
end try
end tell
end run
