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...
It very much depends on if he bought a routed subnet or bought 8 individual IPs. It's very possible the OP _does_ have 8 IPs to play with but, because it's not a subnet, he may need to configure them individually.
(I had a friend who bought 4 IPs from BellAtlantic DSL in the late 90s that were 4 available IPs and not a routed subnet; his OpenBSD firewall machine would proxy-arp for the Windows machines sitting behind it)
