How does one connect to multiple workstations on the same network using RDP?
Ie. two users would like to connect to their individual workstation in the office from the home computers.
When using RDP how does are the ports configured to distingush each workstation so there is no collision on the network?

You didn't say whether you want to connect to multiple sessions from a workstation or server.
Above is the way to go if you're doing the RDP connection from a workstation.
But if you using Windows server you can create connections in the remote desktops MMC or use the above method.
And if it's SBS server you are also able to from the management console do a right click on the PC and select connect using terminal services.

Scenerio: two users would like to connect to their individual workstation in the office from the home computers.
When using RDP how does are the ports configured to distingush each workstation so there is no collision on the network (Peer-to-peer)?

The easiest way to go about it in this situation is to have each user connect their RDP sessions on a different port.
The default port for RDP is 3389 so one user could use it but the other user will need to connect using another port for example 3390.
On the router you will need to forward each port to the appropriate PC.
Because the second connection is using a different port the user will need to add the port on the end of their RDP connection.
A colon and then the port number must be placed after the IP address or domain name.
I.e. mydomain:3390
