If you're not willing to use a free terminal app, my favorite (by a LONG shot) is Interarchy, which can be found here...
http://www.interarchy.com/
It is much more reliable than any other Mac or PC based traffic monitoring tool, in my experience. I can say this from personal experience. Two weeks ago I was at a clients' office, trying to find the last bug in a Mac port of a networked PC app. Interarchy identified the problem immediately, where Socket Spy had failed to catch it in the last three months of testing. Interarchy rocks.
Actually, Interarchy does a lot of other things too, but I only use it for the network monitor.
If I don't have Interarchy, I use the free (and included in the OS) TCPDump for most simple stuff, and (free, downloadable) TCPFlow for text based network issues.
