Files and Settings Transfer Wizard. Yes, you have it. Start, Programs,
Accessories, System Tools, Files and Settings Transfer Wizard.

In any case it won't help with your current problem. You say you "turned
off" the firewall software - if it's not the Microsoft firewall you may need
to uninstall it rather than disabling it. Many add-on firewall products do
not disable completely or correctly.
