KaliLinux DoS attack > modem crash

Hi all, some days ago i have installed kali on "Oracle VM VirtualBox", i have a problem when i do dos attack.
i have tried ettercap d.o.s. attack plugin and also hping3. my problem is:
when i put a public ip, my connection will crash after 5-10 seconds, and my modem will restart.
anyone can tell me what could be the problem?

if it can help, tell you my connection config

my ADSL connection is:
ping 69-70ms
download speed: 10 mbps
upload speed: 1 mbps

my modem is:
Software version: 5.4.8.1.160.12.56.1.40
Model name: Vodafone Station Revolution
Version: Huawei 963168_HUAWEIVOX25

any answer is welcome.
You could be DoS'ing yourself here. Run Wireshark to get more information on what is happening. I've noticed that Ettercap causes a DoS-like effect on your network (even when attempting a MiTM attack), try to clear your ARP tables and try again.
Them tools you mentioned are to dos clients in local network not public ip
As Grave said Ettercap is a tool that works on a LAN. Most likely is that you are DoS'ing yourself by sending all of the packets to your gateway (router) and knocking yourself offline.
ooh, very very thanks for having clarified the ideas.
so i cant dos public external ip whit these tools, you can suggest a great tool for DoS (for external public ip xD) ?
