I tried switching to the Intel Pro/1000 MT Desktop & IBMGU driver and I still get the same "out of resources"results as with what I have been using for about 3 years with the PCnet-Fast III adapter. I can casually copy lots of stuff back and forth to a remote box if I don't do too much too quickly, otherwise I get the "network out of resources" message. And simple things such as just a "dir" on the remote drive will then fail ... for a while. However if I walk away for about 10 minutes the situation cures itself and operations to/from the remote drive work again. And then if I copy a lot of stuff again it will run out of resources once again.
Have you tried copying say a 600,000,000 byte image file and running a md5 checksum on it for comparison? I might get two "loops' of doing that before I have to wait 10 minutes... and resume/retry. If just doing small files spaced out during the day, no problems.
By the way, ftp or curl etc experience the same out of resources if I do too much too fast, but also cures itself after a significant pause.
I haven't tried those scenarios with my Ubuntu guest. That guest was only installed as a learning experience, but I'm still not a Linux fan. If I get a significant break on what's going on in my life I might experiment with the Linux guest to seem if it is common problem with my Host.
Another option I might experiment with is running an image copy of my Host as a guest of itself. I heard someplace it was possible to run another virtualization under a virtualization. That would be to simply test if the Vbox 7 upgrade breaks my otherwise working host. Three or so years ago I could never get a 7.x version to install successfully.

Thanks. I tried both, but neither worked until I changed the virtual
machine to PIIX3. So both now work.
These are the virtual machine settings that worked
4096 MB RAM
PIIX3 chipset
Video RAM 33 MB
PIIX4 disk controller (using IBM1S506.ADD)
2 TB expanding drive
20 GB boot volume E: formatted JFS
Intel PRO/1000 MT desktop (using IBM Gigabit Ethernet Adapter (OS/2)
(IBMGU.OS2))
USB 2.0
This finally is working the way I'd expect eCS to work.
