Is my network being port scanned?

Hi, I am using a handy tool called Netstat Agent that shows all incoming/outgoing port connections. I am seeing this pop up every few minutes;

Port - tcp
Local address 192.168.1.X (my server)
Local Port - msolap-ptp2
Remote Address - PC-20050101010039 (no such workstation in my Active Directory)
Remote Port - sql-net
Process - svchost.exe
Country - China

Then almost immediately, I get a second report showing this:
Port - tcp
Local address 192.168.1.X (my server)
Local Port - 2726
Remote Address - 119.144.44.21 (no such IP address in my network)
Remote Port - 7000
Process - svchost.exe
SYMSENT
Country - China

Now, my svchost is supposedly infected with a trojan. I posted this in another forum but am now trying to see what effect it is having.
 
That address is listed as from Milton, Australia. If that address isn't one you recognize, then, yes, you are being scanned. I would block it.

I'm number 1,229!

Thanks.
Also port 2725 is usually wireshark (a sniffing tool), plus the remote addresses do not match any computer or software on my network, so I am assuming that 2726 is suspicious.
