The IIS GUI doesn't support turning compression on in IIS6. You'll need to update the IIS metabase directly with the settings instead.

The MSDN documentation gives a high level overview of HTTP compression but doesn't talk about getting the changes into the metabase. I found some instructions and a helpful metabase example.
