Hi Raghu,
> Also, what changes should I make in the configuration file so as to remove the port number from the address and access galaxy by something like http://myaddress/mygalaxy (instead of http://myaddress:8080). 
Simply change the port value in the universe_wsgi.ini to 80 (standard internet port) instead of 8080
port = 80
Otherwise you can use Apache. This require little more work to do. Check the Wiki for this.https://bitbucket.org/galaxy/galaxy-central/wiki/Config/ApacheProxy

How can I make it globally visible for everyone.
This depend on what you mean for "everyone". If you mean the whole world, you need a public IP address.
