Gnuplot: Treat numeric values as string lables

Question

I have a data file of the format:

172.168.1.1 12
192.168.1.0 1
.......

They are IP addresses with corresponding connections to them. I want to draw a histogram of connection to each IP address. However, gnuplot consider the column one to be numeric and thus plots a histogram differently. Is there a way to tell gnuplot to consider the column 1 as string labels instead?

I haven't had this problem myself, but this might work:

plot "myfile" using 2:xticlabels(1)

This question can also be relevant for you.
