The network drops when scanning with Nmap

When I Nmap scan a website, often my internet connection drops. When i try to reconnect, it just refuses to do so (I tried scanning without the OpenVPN, but it still happens). I use a wireless dongle to connect, and I'm on Kali on VMWare. When the connection drops, it "blocks" the dongle, making it unusable. I have to reboot the machine to make the network work again.

Any thoughts please?
