Well, as in ipv4 the hosts need an address and routing:
machine-1:
# ip addr add 3ff3:1234::1 dev eth0
# ip route add 3ffe:1234/mask dev eth0

machine-2:
# ip addr add 3ff3:1234::1 dev eth0
# ip route add 3ff3:1234/mask dev eth0

If you have a route to the ip6 world, then add to them:
# ip route add 2001::/3 via (your:ip6:router:address) dev eth0

Should work, maybe the cables are bad?
