No, not at all. It's just letting the world know the port is closed whenever a machine asks. A closed port can't be exploited in any way.
Not being stealth just means remote machines can see if your machine is turned on, but I wouldn't worry about that.
If Windows Firewall stealths it, why not drop NIS and enable Windows Firewall
?
