Does it have to be this way, or can each machine have a non-routeable IP 
address like 192.168.X.X that the gateway does IP masquerading for?  That 
would certainly make this easier.

Or you can track my MAC address.  Assuming the gateway was a Linux box, 
one could put the network card in promiscuous mode and monitor traffic.  
The tcpdump command can display MAC addresses for you.
