Thanks Tom,
I have tried that in the past though, and I still get Epot values of nan.
It seems the only other option I have is to place the molecules in separate 
boxes, set 
disre=simple, and use the -multi option during the mdrun. The -multi option 
only works with the parallel installation.
Unfortunately I get the ff error message when I try to use the parallel gromacs 
installation on the server:
<MPICH-MX> Error: Need to obtain the job magic number in MXMPI_MAGIC.
I would appreciate any advice on how to fix this.
