You may have a Trojan(s) installed on these systems.
I would run fport from www.foundstone.com to identify processes
listening on these ports.
Scan system with AV software of your choice (try Kaspersky AV -
www.avp.ru)  and/or Trojan removal software:

Alex.
We are having two NT 4 domain controller servers, PDC
& BDC. 

Recently I was trying nampwin 1.3.1 and found that out
of these servers, PDC has open tcp port on 6667 & 6668
for irc. 

Now my question is, why these port are open on PDC? Is
there something suspicious? What should I do to find
the exact reason?
