I wrote the developers and they acknowledged it's a known issue. If it doesn't understand Java, who knows what else it doesn't display?

While not free they prrovide much more information, including the ability to right click a connection and do a trace route. I did look at Private eye and unless you are paranoid about what your computer is doing it is a very nice program. And I agree with the previous poster about Little Snitch. I have been running it for years. I like the ability to approve a connection until you quit the program. (I am parranoid about what my computer does. I run a second monitor with nothing but network monitoring software). :-) Also Net Monitor and Net Monitor Sidekick are worth a look.

It's not cheap –$30–but an app built by the same guy who built LaunchBar rocks in my world. I downloaded Private Eye, though. It's elegant for the beginning curious who will quickly want something more powerful. Maybe by this obviously talented developer?
