DAQ NI-USB 6001 software using needed network ports

I installed the ni-daqmx driver package for the USB 6001 device.  I then noticed other software on my machine stopped working.  I traced it to network ports 5000 and 5001 being used by nidmsrv.exe and tagsrv.exe, respectively.  As I understand it, those services have to do with some kind of NI shared variable engine.  I don't believe I need that capability, so can I either uninstall that portion of the software or somehow change the ports that it wants to use?  

 

I'm not using LabView, I only need the driver and API for Matlab.

These articles should explain the ports used by NI software

Thanks.  I see that port 5000 is listed as being used by NI GPIB-ENET/100.  On my machine, though, netstat clearly indicates 5000 is used by the National Instruments Domain Service and 5001 is used by the LabVIEW Shared Variable Engine.  If they can't be configured to use other ports, can they be uninstalled?  I have to have a network admin install the driver software, so I have no insight as to what options there are.
