This is a useless statement.  What exactly have you tried?  You will receive 
help much more efficiently if we know exactly what has worked and what hasn't. 
It sounds like a simple problem - you've defined NA+ ions in the topology, but 
there aren't any in your system.  Be sure that you're not following the tutorial 
too literally.  That is, just because the tutorial said to add NA+ to that 
particular system doesn't mean you'll necessarily have NA+ in every system.
