It doesn't work that way... You may think you bought 8 ip's, but you can only pass traffic on 6... That is how it works... You buy 16, and only 14 work. The first and last address are as Johnny said...
I've also seen DSL networks like this where those extra IPs are bridged not routed. in these cases, you use the same gateway as the 'main' IP, but usually the main IP has a /24 or whatever mask that encompasses ALL the IPs.
regardless, the OP should contact the ISP and find out what the mask and gateway are for the extra IPs.
I guess with the ipv4 drought, this will become even more common... Until everyone gets to ipv6...
