Not in my stations it doesn't. It uses ports far removed from those, 
and different for each machine. Anyone above the skill level of a 
script kiddie knows those port numbers and many other default values 
that may allow ingress into a network. Using any default values in 
remote management software, in a router, or in a wireless access 
point is just too risky.
