DHCP client can't connect to a web site



The setup:

AT&T U-verse (new router) with internal DHCP and 3-bit IPv4 (five user
fixed IP addresses) network.

Windows 10 PC on copper Ethernet assigned to one of those fixed IP addresses.

CentOS 7.4 laptop on WiFi issued a non-routable DHCP address.

The problem:

The DHCP WiFi laptop cannot connect to slashdot.org (216.34.181.45). DNS
resolution works fine, but traceroute to the name and IP address both fail
after 30 hops.

The fixed IP Windows PC connects perfectly.

How can this be?
