Hi Eric,
Unless you have a bubble in your system, it is impossible for the
protein to be "outside" of the water box/not solvated, if you are
using PBC (which you are). The display issue is caused by the way you
have chosen to wrap the coordinates in your system, rather than
something physical that's going on. I'd take a look at the manual,
search the namd-l archive, and google PBC, to get a sense of what you
should be expecting to see.
