Hi Darlington,
Equation cross-referencing is basic to LyX but there is a procedure
to going about this.
1. Use Insert->Math->Numbered Formula or Ctrl+Alt+N to create a numbered
formula. This should start an equation on a new line and should show a
(#) sign.
2. Position the cursor within the equation environment and click
Insert->Label and type in some name that helps you remember this
equation. It is customary though not mandatory to start equation labels
with 'eq:'.
3. Position the cursor at the point you want to reference this equation
and then click Insert->Cross Reference. Then select the equation from
the list of labels you have previously created.
3a. The options in the Format combo box allow you to select the style
for that reference, i.e., (eqn#) or eqn# or the page # for that eqn. etc.
Does this answer your question? The LyX User Guide explains all this.

To whom it may concern
I have recently started using Lyx and I must say it is a good word processing
package. It has made my work easier than the traditional Latex version. However
I feel there is one area that should be changed without delay.
As a mathematician, I tend to come across many equations and more often than
not, I have to refer and cross refer between equations. Now, from my experience
with lyx, I am not able to reference an equation save for a section or a page.
Now this to me needs correction and if you could look into this matter, it
would help many potential lyx users out there.
I would be very happy if my contribution receives feedback otherwise I am
looking forward to hearing from you.
Regards,
Darlington Hove
