I'm not familiar with gnutella.  As far as tools, nmap is a very handy 
port-scanner:

	www.insecure.org/nmap/

You could use it to tell you what ports are open on your box.

You could use tcpdump to monitor traffic on your network behind your 
firewall.  Thus, you could determine if gnutella requests are actually 
making it onto your LAN (sounds like they are if gnutella works on your
Windows box).  I'm not familiar with KRUD, so I can't tell you if tcpdump 
is installed by default.  It is OS, and I think there is even a Windows 
version.
