There was fairly recently a long thread on this. I think you know what a static route is so lets assume you meant static default route. Most routing protocols understand the 0.0.0.0 to be the psuedo default route. But IGRP does not, you must flag a network as the default network using the default-network command. I think what Caslow is refering to is that if you flag 192.168.1.0 as your default network you must have a route to that network in your routing table.
