Your problem is that you have blindly copied a topology file from online,
without giving any thought to what you're actually including :)  I assume you
have copied the example topology from Peter Tieleman's site, which was created
long ago, probably when ffgmx was still considered useful.  Try looking at the
original topology generated by pdb2gmx to see which force field should be
included.
