Then that's certainly the first problem to fix. This is why I generally use editconf for defining the box (and why I keep recommending it). For a simple protein in water, using a command like:

editconf -c -d 1.0

will define a suitably-sized box so that you don't have to guess at the box dimensions. There is no such option with genbox.

And it must be the start to a long week, as I'm already getting forgetful. The above command will define a rectangular box, which, in general may not be applicable for, i.e., a globular protein in water (due to the likelihood of rotation during diffusion). In such a case, you're better of with a rhombic dodecahedron:

editconf -c -d 1.0 -bt dodecahedron

For a membrane system, you will likely need a cubic or rectangular box, due to the inherent shape of the bilayer. But for the sake of thoroughness of the archive, I thought I'd mention that.
