Hi,

The only thing that seems odd to me is that this line should appear in both
instances:

DE4_127.O1 SolventH SolventDnr 214 0.0214
 2.7486 158.8356

but it is missing from the first instance. Since you wrote "(indicative few
lines):", maybe you forgot to paste it in the first instance? Otherwise the
behavior is entirely consistent with what is explained in the manual:

"Search solute for hydrogen bond donor and acceptor atoms in the region
specified by <mask> (all solute atoms if no mask specified)..."

Since in the second instance you specify ":126-127" and "nointramol" the
only hydrogen bonds that will be detected are intramolecular hydrogen bonds
(or solute-solvent bridges) involving residues 126, 127 and solvent.

Hope this helps,

-Dan
