do you have DNS connectivity to these IP addresses?
Don't you get different nameserver ips e.g. via dhcp or ppp?

no-resolv tells dnsmasq not to read /etc/resolv.conf but use servers 
specified in dnsmasq.conf, in this case 8.8.4.4 and 8.8.8.8

it could cause troubles if e.g. provider blocks access to these servers.
