Why i'm i getting unused IPs in reports as if they had ports open..

Can anyone tell me why am I getting IP numbers which are non-used in my
network in NeWT reports as if they had open ports?

For example, my network IP scheme is the basic 192.168.0.x type.  My DHCP is
asigning only numbers above 100 (hence 192.168.0.100, 192,168.0.101,
192,168.0.102, ....).  BTW - 192,168.0.1 by me router/gateway.

If I run a scan under 192,168.0.0/24 i'm getting a report stating that
192,168.0.2 ... 192,168.0.99 as if they have 2 open ports.  Also get all
IP's above 115 (192,168.0.116...192,168.0.254) as if they have 2 open ports.

Shouldn't unused IPs DONT appear in the report...?  What could be going
on...?
