It seems that your database isn't configured to accept TCP/IP connection
because:
* it wasn't started with the -i flag or 
* it is configured to refuse connections: check data/pg_hba.conf.

Also, make sure your connection parameters are correct

shp2pgsql doesn't use the DB, it just parse shapefiles into a list of
insert statements that you can use later to insert data in the DB later.
