Not without a machine on the same network that is configured to use the
same network address.  If you have a machine that has two networks cards
in it, you can configure one to the 'normal' network, and another to the
'bogus' network, and connect through it.

Nope, that won't work since the routers know that packets destined for
the wrong IP don't belong on their network.
