Thanks Maik,
                        but as david sugged me that i have to include 
topology of my linker in rtp file , so now i am not using PRODRG server.
                        I also find the option for fixing the optimal no 
of Hydrogen in PRODRG.
                        It is DELHYD "atom name" flag above the PDB file.
                       Thanks again for ur suggesion.
