when i connect my two IPv6 hosts using a cross cable, i'm unable
to
ping and the ethernet link seems to be down.
Also, one machine has bridged-ethernet.
Is it correct to do so ??
pls help.

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?
