It has been a while but I think a network driver on the gateway would take each IP/Ethernet pair and assign another IP address to it. That way the gateway software only ever saw unique IP addresses and the driver handled sending it back to only the correct Ethernet address.
In that case the other PC with the same IP address should ignore the packet as the Ethernet address would be wrong. If you used a switch it could further isolate things.
As I said its been over two years since I really worked on this so hopefully it makes a bit of sense.
